We discuss the CVE-2022-2274 OpenSSL Vulnerability. The OpenSSL 3.0.4 release introduced a serious bug in the RSA implementation for X86_64 CPUs supporting the AVX512IFMA instructions. This issue makes the RSA implementation with 2048 bit private keys incorrect on such machines and memory corruption will happen during the computation. As a consequence of the memory corruption an attacker may be able to trigger a remote code execution on the machine performing the computation. 0:00 Intro 1:00 CVE-2022-2274 3:00 AVX512IFMA CISC 5:00 How the bug works 7:10 How can it be triggered Resources https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv/20220705.txt https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues/18625 https://guidovranken.com/2022/06/27/notes-on-openssl-remote-memory-corruption/ https://eprint.iacr.org/2018/335 https://github.com/openssl/openssl/commit/4d8a88c134df634ba610ff8db1eb8478ac5fd345 https://linux.die.net/man/3/bn_internal https://www.microfocus.com/documentation/enterprise-developer/ed60/ES-WIN/GUID-E3960B1E-C42E-4748-A5EB-6E12507C9CD7.html https://www.microcontrollertips.com/risc-vs-cisc-architectures-one-better/ Fundamentals of Networking for Effective Backends udemy course (link redirects to udemy with coupon) https://network.husseinnasser.com
