CWE ID 665

Summary

CVE-2023-37479 is a vulnerability in the Open Enclave SDK, a hardware-agnostic open source library for developing applications that use Trusted Execution Environments (Enclaves). The vulnerability affects various products, including enbPnI, enbPnD, and enbPnC. The first issue is that the SDK does not properly sanitize the `MXCSR` register on enclave entry, making applications vulnerable to MXCSR Configuration Dependent Timing (MCDT) attacks. The second issue is that the SDK does not sanitize x86's alignment check flag `RFLAGS.AC` on enclave entry, which allows for side-channel attacks. To remediate this vulnerability, users will need to recompile their applications against the patched libraries provided in version 0.19.3 of Open Enclave SDK. The potential danger posed by this vulnerability is high, with a base severity rating of HIGH and an integrity impact of HIGH according to NIST's CVSS score.
