Title
POLY1305 MAC implementation corrupts XMM registers on Windows
Summary
Issue summary: The POLY1305 MAC (message authentication code) implementation contains a bug that might corrupt the internal state of applications on the Windows 64 platform when running on newer X86_64 processors supporting the AVX512-IFMA instructions. Impact summary: If in an application that uses the OpenSSL library an attacker can influence whether the POLY1305 MAC algorithm is used, the application state might be corrupted with various application dependent consequences. The POLY1305 MAC (message authentication code) implementation in OpenSSL does not save the contents of non-volatile XMM registers on Windows 64 platform when calculating the MAC of data larger than 64 bytes. Before returning to the caller all the XMM registers are set to zero rather than restoring their previous content. The vulnerable code is used only on newer x86_64 processors supporting the AVX512-IFMA instructions. The consequences of this kind of internal application state corruption can be various - from no consequences, if the calling application does not depend on the contents of non-volatile XMM registers at all, to the worst consequences, where the attacker could get complete control of the application process. However given the contents of the registers are just zeroized so the attacker cannot put arbitrary values inside, the most likely consequence, if any, would be an incorrect result of some application dependent calculations or a crash leading to a denial of service. The POLY1305 MAC algorithm is most frequently used as part of the CHACHA20-POLY1305 AEAD (authenticated encryption with associated data) algorithm. The most common usage of this AEAD cipher is with TLS protocol versions 1.2 and 1.3 and a malicious client can influence whether this AEAD cipher is used by the server. This implies that server applications using OpenSSL can be potentially impacted. However we are currently not aware of any concrete application that would be affected by this issue therefore we consider this a Low severity security issue. As a workaround the AVX512-IFMA instructions support can be disabled at runtime by setting the environment variable OPENSSL_ia32cap: OPENSSL_ia32cap=:~0x200000 The FIPS provider is not affected by this issue.

Resumen del impacto: si en una aplicaci\\u00f3n que usa la librer\\u00eda OpenSSL un atacante puede influir en si se usa el algoritmo MAC POLY1305, el estado de la aplicaci\\u00f3n podr\\u00eda corromperse con varias consecuencias dependientes de la aplicaci\\u00f3n. La implementaci\\u00f3n POLY1305 MAC (c\\u00f3digo de autenticaci\\u00f3n de mensajes) en OpenSSL no guarda el contenido de los registros XMM no vol\\u00e1tiles en la plataforma Windows 64 al calcular la MAC de datos de m\\u00e1s de 64 bytes. Antes de regresar a la persona que llama, todos los registros XMM se establecen en cero en lugar de restaurar su contenido anterior. El c\\u00f3digo vulnerable se utiliza s\\u00f3lo en procesadores x86_64 m\\u00e1s nuevos que admiten las instrucciones AVX512-IFMA. Las consecuencias de este tipo de corrupci\\u00f3n del estado de la aplicaci\\u00f3n interna pueden ser diversas: desde ninguna consecuencia, si la aplicaci\\u00f3n que llama no depende en absoluto del contenido de los registros XMM no vol\\u00e1tiles, hasta las peores consecuencias, donde el atacante podr\\u00eda obtener el control total de el proceso de solicitud. Sin embargo, dado que el contenido de los registros simplemente se pone a cero para que el atacante no pueda colocar valores arbitrarios en su interior, la consecuencia m\\u00e1s probable, si la hubiera, ser\\u00eda un resultado incorrecto de algunos c\\u00e1lculos dependientes de la aplicaci\\u00f3n o una falla que provocar\\u00eda una denegaci\\u00f3n de servicio. El algoritmo POLY1305 MAC se utiliza con mayor frecuencia como parte del algoritmo CHACHA20-POLY1305 AEAD (cifrado autenticado con datos asociados). El uso m\\u00e1s com\\u00fan de este cifrado AEAD es con las versiones 1.2 y 1.3 del protocolo TLS y un cliente malicioso puede influir en si el servidor utiliza este cifrado AEAD. Esto implica que las aplicaciones de servidor que utilizan OpenSSL pueden verse potencialmente afectadas.
