Summary
CVE-2024-9355 is a vulnerability affecting Golang FIPS OpenSSL. Malicious users can exploit this issue by causing an uninitialized buffer length variable with a zeroed buffer to be returned in FIPS mode. Furthermore, attackers may force false positive matches between non-equal hashes, allowing them to trick the system into accepting untrusted inputs. In some cases, this vulnerability can also result in derived keys being set to all zeros instead of unpredictable values. The implications of this issue extend to the Go TLS stack.
