IO FinNet tss-lib vulnerable to timing attack from non-constant time scalar multiplication
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Go | github.com/bnb-chain/tss-lib | < 2.0.0 | 2.0.0 |
| Go | github.com/binance-chain/tss-lib | < 2.0.0 | 2.0.0 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
io.finnet tss-lib before 2.0.0 can leak a secret key via a timing side-channel attack because it relies on the scalar-multiplication implementation in Go crypto/elliptic, which is not constant time (there is an if statement in a loop). One leak is in ecdsa/keygen/round_2.go. (bnb-chain/tss-lib and thorchain/tss are also affected.)
