CVE-2020-24455
Description
The tpm2-tss package introduced an implementation of TCG Feature API (FAPI) from v2.4.0. While instantiating TPM policy via FAPI, TPM's Platform Configuration Register (PCR) are used to compute policy digest. While reading PCR values via 'ifapi_read_pcr' routine, a PCR list counter was not set which can lead to an incorrect policy instantiation. This may potentially lead to a DoS scenario.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
