Description

Bouncy Castle for Java GOST 28147 CTR mode reuses keystream after 255 blocks

The GOST 28147-2015 CTR mode implementation (G3413CTRBlockCipher) in the Legion of the Bouncy Castle BC-JAVA bcprov core module only increments the final byte of the counter, so the counter wraps after 255 blocks and the keystream is reused. Reusing CTR keystream allows an attacker who can observe two ciphertexts produced with the same key/IV to recover the XOR of the plaintexts, breaking confidentiality. Affects BC-JAVA from 1.59 before 1.84 (with backported fixes in 1.80.2 and 1.81.1).

How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached over the network, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs no privileges on the target. No user interaction is required. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality high, integrity none, availability none.

CVSS metrics in full

The score comes from this vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N

  • Attack vector: Network — reachable from anywhere that can route to the service.
  • Attack complexity: Low — the attack works reliably, with no preparation.
  • Privileges required: None — an unauthenticated stranger can try it.
  • User interaction: None — nobody has to be tricked into anything.
  • Scope: Unchanged — the damage stays inside the vulnerable component.
  • Confidentiality impact: High — total loss, or loss the attacker controls.
  • Integrity impact: None.
  • Availability impact: None.
