Vulnerability from github – Published: 2023-02-08 21:30 – Updated: 2025-03-25 15:31

Details

When GELI reads a key file from standard input, it does not reuse the key file to initialize multiple providers at once resulting in the second and subsequent devices silently using a NULL key as the user key file. If a user only uses a key file without a user passphrase, the master key is encrypted with an empty key file allowing trivial recovery of the master key.

Severity ?

6.5 (Medium)
