Some AES functions may panic when overflow checking is enabled in ring

CVE-2025-4432 / GHSA-4p46-pwfr-66x6

More information

Details

ring::aead::quic::HeaderProtectionKey::new_mask() may panic when overflow checking is enabled. In the QUIC protocol, an attacker can induce this panic by sending a specially-crafted packet. Even unintentionally it is likely to occur in 1 out of every 2**32 packets sent and/or received.

On 64-bit targets operations using ring::aead::{AES_128_GCM, AES_256_GCM} may panic when overflow checking is enabled, when encrypting/decrypting approximately 68,719,476,700 bytes (about 64 gigabytes) of data in a single chunk. Protocols like TLS and SSH are not affected by this because those protocols break large amounts of data into small chunks. Similarly, most applications will not attempt to encrypt/decrypt 64GB of data in one chunk.

Overflow checking is not enabled in release mode by default, but RUSTFLAGS="-C overflow-checks" or overflow-checks = true in the Cargo.toml profile can override this. Overflow checking is usually enabled by default in debug mode.

Release Notes

briansmith/ring (ring)

v0.17.12

============================
Bug fix: #​2447 for denial of service (DoS).

• Fixes a panic in ring::aead::quic::HeaderProtectionKey::new_mask() when
  integer overflow checking is enabled. In the QUIC protocol, an attacker can
  induce this panic by sending a specially-crafted packet. Even unintentionally
  it is likely to occur in 1 out of every 2**32 packets sent and/or received.

• Fixes a panic on 64-bit targets in ring::aead::{AES_128_GCM, AES_256_GCM}
  when overflow checking is enabled, when encrypting/decrypting approximately
  68,719,476,700 bytes (about 64 gigabytes) of data in a single chunk. Protocols
  like TLS and SSH are not affected by this because those protocols break large
  amounts of data into small chunks. Similarly, most applications will not
  attempt to encrypt/decrypt 64GB of data in one chunk.

Overflow checking is not enabled in release mode by default, but
RUSTFLAGS="-C overflow-checks" or overflow-checks = true in the Cargo.toml
profile can override this. Overflow checking is usually enabled by default in
debug mode.
