RUSTSEC-2026-0045
No affected components available
Observable timing discrepancy in AES-CCM decryption in AWS-LC allows an unauthenticated user to potentially determine authentication tag validity via timing analysis.
The impacted implementations are through the EVP CIPHER API:
EVP_aes_128_ccm, EVP_aes_192_ccm, and EVP_aes_256_ccm.
Customers of AWS services do not need to take action. aws-lc-sys contains
code from AWS-LC. Applications using aws-lc-sys should upgrade to the most
recent release of aws-lc-sys.
Workarounds
In the special cases of using AES-CCM with (M=4, L=2), (M=8, L=2), or
(M=16, L=2), applications can workaround this issue by using AES-CCM through
the EVP AEAD API using implementations EVP_aead_aes_128_ccm_bluetooth,
EVP_aead_aes_128_ccm_bluetooth_8, and EVP_aead_aes_128_ccm_matter
respectively.
Otherwise, there is no workaround and applications using aws-lc-sys should
upgrade to the most recent release.
The vulnerability can be exploited over the network without needing physical access. It is difficult for an attacker to exploit this vulnerability and may require special conditions. An attacker does not need any special privileges or access rights. No user interaction is needed for the attacker to exploit this vulnerability. The impact is confined to the system where the vulnerability exists. There is a high impact on the integrity of the data.
Exploitation attempts have been detected. Elevated vigilance and prompt remediation are advised.
The exploit probability is very low. The vulnerability is unlikely to be exploited in the next 30 days.
We did not find any exploit available. Neither in GitHub repositories nor in the Exploit-Database.
