  "details" : [ "Issue summary: The AES-SIV cipher implementation contains a bug that causes\nit to ignore empty associated data entries which are unauthenticated as\na consequence.\nImpact summary: Applications that use the AES-SIV algorithm and want to\nauthenticate empty data entries as associated data can be misled by removing,\nadding or reordering such empty entries as these are ignored by the OpenSSL\nimplementation. We are currently unaware of any such applications.\nThe AES-SIV algorithm allows for authentication of multiple associated\ndata entries along with the encryption. To authenticate empty data the\napplication has to call EVP_EncryptUpdate() (or EVP_CipherUpdate()) with\nNULL pointer as the output buffer and 0 as the input buffer length.\nThe AES-SIV implementation in OpenSSL just returns success for such a call\ninstead of performing the associated data authentication operation.\nThe empty data thus will not be authenticated.\nAs this issue does not affect non-empty associated data authentication and\nwe expect it to be rare for an application to use empty associated data\nentries this is qualified as Low severity issue.", "A vulnerability was found in OpenSSL. The AES-SIV cipher implementation contains a bug that causes it to ignore empty associated data entries, which are unauthenticated as a consequence. Applications that use the AES-SIV algorithm and want to authenticate empty data entries as associated data can be misled by removing, adding, or reordering such empty entries as these are ignored by the OpenSSL implementation. The AES-SIV algorithm allows for the authentication of multiple associated data entries and encryption. To authenticate empty data, the application has to call EVP_EncryptUpdate() (or EVP_CipherUpdate()) with a NULL pointer as the output buffer and 0 as the input buffer length. The AES-SIV implementation in OpenSSL returns success for such a call instead of performing the associated data authentication operation. Thus, the empty data will not be authenticated." ],
  "statement" : "This issue does not affect Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, 7, and 8 as the vulnerable OpenSSL package is currently not shipped. As this issue does not affect non-empty associated data authentication and we expect it to be rare for an application to use empty associated data entries, this is rated with a Low severity.",
