Tracker summary

CVE-2018-9860 not yet assigned priority: Debian including 1 source packages (botan), 3 status rows across 3 suites (bookworm, bullseye, trixie): resolved 3.

Description:

An issue was discovered in Botan 1.11.32 through 2.x before 2.6.0. An off-by-one error when processing malformed TLS-CBC ciphertext could cause the receiving side to include in the HMAC computation exactly 64K bytes of data following the record buffer, aka an over-read. The MAC comparison will subsequently fail and the connection will be closed. This could be used for denial of service. No information leak occurs.
