CVE-2023-46129

Public on 2023-10-30
Modified on 2024-01-18
Description
The nkeys library's "xkeys" encryption handling logic mistakenly passed an array by value into an internal function, where the function mutated that buffer to populate the encryption key to use. As a result, all encryption was actually to an all-zeros key.

This affects encryption only, not signing.
