Last modified

CVE-2024-26317 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.1/10 on the CVSS scale. In illumos illumos-gate 2024-02-15, an error occurs in the elliptic curve point addition algorithm that uses mixed Jacobian-affine coordinates, causing the algorithm to yield a result of POINT_AT_INFINITY when it should not. A man-in-the-middle attacker could use this to interfere with a connection, resulting in an attacked party computing an incorrect shared secret.. EPSS estimates a 0.18% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
