7Subject: [PATCH] Prevent over long nonces in ChaCha20-Poly1305
8
9ChaCha20-Poly1305 is an AEAD cipher, and requires a unique nonce input for
10every encryption operation. RFC 7539 specifies that the nonce value (IV)
11should be 96 bits (12 bytes). OpenSSL allows a variable nonce length and
12front pads the nonce with 0 bytes if it is less than 12 bytes. However it
13also incorrectly allows a nonce to be set of up to 16 bytes. In this case
14only the last 12 bytes are significant and any additional leading bytes are
15ignored.
16
17It is a requirement of using this cipher that nonce values are unique.
18Messages encrypted using a reused nonce value are susceptible to serious
19confidentiality and integrity attacks. If an application changes the
20default nonce length to be longer than 12 bytes and then makes a change to
21the leading bytes of the nonce expecting the new value to be a new unique
22nonce then such an application could inadvertently encrypt messages with a
23reused nonce.
24
25Additionally the ignored bytes in a long nonce are not covered by the
26integrity guarantee of this cipher. Any application that relies on the
27integrity of these ignored leading bytes of a long nonce may be further
28affected.
29
30Any OpenSSL internal use of this cipher, including in SSL/TLS, is safe
31because no such use sets such a long nonce value. However user
32applications that use this cipher directly and set a non-default nonce
33length to be longer than 12 bytes may be vulnerable.
