DescriptionCVE.org

In wolfSSL, ARIA-GCM cipher suites used in TLS 1.2 and DTLS 1.2 reuse an identical 12-byte GCM nonce for every application-data record. Because wc_AriaEncrypt is stateless and passes the caller-supplied IV verbatim to the MagicCrypto SDK with no internal counter, and because the explicit IV is zero-initialized at session setup and never incremented in non-FIPS builds. This vulnerability affects wolfSSL builds configured with --enable-aria and the proprietary MagicCrypto SDK (a non-default, opt-in configuration required for Korean regulatory deployments). AES-GCM is not affected because wc_AesGcmEncrypt_ex maintains an internal invocation counter independently of the call-site guard.

AnalysisAI

wolfSSL's ARIA-GCM cipher suites in TLS 1.2 and DTLS 1.2 reuse an identical 12-byte nonce for every encrypted application-data record, enabling plaintext recovery through cryptanalytic attacks. This vulnerability affects only non-FIPS builds explicitly configured with --enable-aria and the proprietary MagicCrypto SDK (opt-in for Korean regulatory compliance). …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Risk Assessment CVSS 6.0 (Medium) reflects remote network attack (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), requiring attacker preparation (AT:P) and low-privilege authentication (PR:L), with high confidentiality impact (VC:H) but limited integrity/availability impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An authenticated attacker with access to a TLS 1.2 or DTLS 1.2 session using ARIA-GCM cipher suites can observe multiple application-data records encrypted under the same nonce (due to the static zero-initialized IV). By analyzing the XOR relationship between ciphertexts sharing an identical nonce, the attacker recovers portions of plaintext through algebraic cryptanalysis (e.g., GCM nonce-reuse attacks documented in cryptographic literature). …
Remediation Apply the upstream fix from wolfSSL GitHub pull request #10111 (https://github.com/wolfSSL/wolfssl/pull/10111), which corrects the nonce-reuse behavior in ARIA-GCM implementations. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
