About this episode

We discuss the CVE-2022-2274 OpenSSL Vulnerability.

The OpenSSL 3.0.4 release introduced a serious bug in the RSA

implementation for X86_64 CPUs supporting the AVX512IFMA instructions.

This issue makes the RSA implementation with 2048 bit private keys

incorrect on such machines and memory corruption will happen during

the computation. As a consequence of the memory corruption an attacker

may be able to trigger a remote code execution on the machine performing

the computation.
