CVE-2024-48948
Description
A flaw was found in the Elliptic Node.js package. In certain versions, the ECDSA implementation does not correctly verify valid signatures if the hash contains at least 4 leading 0 bytes and when the order of the elliptic curve's base point is smaller than the hash. This issue can lead to valid signatures being rejected and a potential service disruption.
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.
