      <title>CVE-2025-69418 — Unauthenticated/unencrypted trailing bytes with low-level OCB function calls</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2025-69418</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; OpenSSL, Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 TM MFP - GNU/Linux subsystem&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Issue summary: When using the low-level OCB API directly with AES-NI or&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;other hardware-accelerated code paths, inputs whose length is not a multiple&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;of 16 bytes can leave the final partial block unencrypted and unauthenticated.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Impact summary: The trailing 1-15 bytes of a message may be exposed in&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;cleartext on encryption and are not covered by the authentication tag,&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;allowing an attacker to read or tamper with those bytes without detection.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The low-level OCB encrypt and decrypt routines in the hardware-accelerated&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;stream path process full 16-byte blocks but do not advance the input/output&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;pointers. The subsequent tail-handling code then operates on the original&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;base pointers, effectively reprocessing the beginning of the buffer while&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;leaving the actual trailing bytes unprocessed. The authentication checksum&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;also excludes the true tail bytes.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;However, typical OpenSSL consumers using EVP are not affected because the&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;higher-level EVP and provider OCB implementations split inputs so that full&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;blocks and trailing partial blocks are processed in separate calls, avoiding&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;the problematic code path. Additionally, TLS does not use OCB ciphersuites.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The vulnerability only affects applications that call the low-level&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;CRYPTO_ocb128_encrypt() or CRYPTO_ocb128_decrypt() functions directly with&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;non-block-aligned lengths in a single call on hardware-accelerated builds.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;For these reasons the issue was assessed as Low severit…&lt;/p&gt;</description>
