After 2^64 (~18.4 quintillion) messages are encrypted with the Encrypt function, the nonce counter will wrap around, causing multiple messages to be encrypted with the same key and nonce. In a separate issue, the Decrypt function increments the nonce state even when it fails to decrypt a message. If an attacker can provide an invalid input to the Decrypt function, this will cause the nonce state to desynchronize between the peers, resulting in a failure to encrypt all subsequent messages." } ] }, "problemtype": { "problemtype_data": [ { "description": [ { "lang": "eng", "value": "CWE 400: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption" } ] } ] }, "affects": { "vendor": { "vendor_data": [ { "vendor_name": "github.com/flynn/noise", "product": { "product_data": [ { "product_name": "github.com/flynn/noise", "version": { "version_data": [ { "version_value": "0", "version_affected": "=" } ] } } ] } } ] } }, "references": { "reference_data": [ { "url": "https://github.com/flynn/noise/pull/44", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://github.com/flynn/noise/pull/44" }, { "url": "https://pkg.go.dev/vuln/GO-2022-0425", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://pkg.go.dev/vuln/GO-2022-0425" } ] } }
