Description
CryptX versions before 0.088_001 for Perl have a stack buffer overflow in four AEAD decrypt_verify helpers.
The gcm_decrypt_verify, ccm_decrypt_verify, chacha20poly1305_decrypt_verify and eax_decrypt_verify XS routines copied the caller-supplied authentication tag into a fixed 144-byte stack buffer (MAXBLOCKSIZE) without checking the supplied length. A longer tag overwrites the stack past the buffer. Version 0.088 added the clamp to gcm_decrypt_verify, and 0.088_001 added it to the other three.
Any caller of an affected helper that forwards an attacker-controlled tag longer than the buffer can trigger the overflow.
