Java Suffers from Crypto Bug That Could Allow Attackers to Bypass Digital Signatures, Oracle Releases Fix

Java versions 15 and above carry a flaw in the implementation of its Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) that could exploited by cybercriminals to digitally sign files by forging some types of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates, signed JSON Web Tokens (JWTs), and even two-factor authentication messages. The issue was first discovered last year and was reported to Oracle, which eventually patched it last week. However, since organisations take time to update their systems with the latest releases, any device that uses the affected Java versions for consuming digitally-signed data could be at risk.

Oracle patched the issue, which is also called a blunder among the community, as a part of more than 500 fixes. The vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2022-21449.

Neil Madden, the researcher at security consultancy firm ForgeRock, found the security loophole and reported it to Oracle privately in November. Although the software company has given a severity rating of 7.5 out of 10 to the issue, experts including ForgeRock is considering it to be a flaw with the severity rating of 10 — “due to the wide range of impacts on different functionality” that could bring a large impact.

“If you are running one of the vulnerable versions then an attacker can easily forge some types of SSL certificates and handshakes (allowing interception and modification of communications), signed JWTs, SAML assertions or OIDC id tokens, and even WebAuthn authentication messages. All using the digital equivalent of a blank piece of paper,” Madden wrote in a blog post.

Cybercriminals and hackers could use the flaw to digitally sign a malicious app or file that could have a different set of implications for end consumers. It could allow attackers to ultimately gain backdoor access to systems or even hack a network using files and data that looks authentic and trustworthy.

Java uses ECDSA that is based on the principles of elliptic curve cryptography — one the known and widely adopted approaches to enable key agreement and digital signatures. The researcher found that the bug was introduced by a rewrite of the elliptic curve cryptography from native C++ to Java, which took place with the release of Java 15.

Digital signatures based on elliptic curve cryptography typically require users to prove to the recipients that they have access to the private key corresponding to the public key. This helps verify the authentication and allows users to gain access to the data. It also restricts users from presenting a digital signature for handshakes who don’t have access to a relevant private key.

However, using the flaw, an attacker could use a blank signature that could be considered as valid and verified by the system against any public keys.

Madden calls these signatures similar to a “psychic paper” — the plot device that appeared on long-running sci-fi Doctor Who. It was essentially a completely blank paper but was designed to work as a security pass, warrant, or a proof on the basis of what the protagonist wants others to see.

“An ECDSA signature consists of two values, called r and s,” the researcher said while explaining the flaw. “To verify an ECDSA signature, the verifier checks an equation involving r, s, the signer’s public key, and a hash of the message. If the two sides of the equation are equal then the signature is valid, otherwise it is rejected.”

The process involves a condition that the R and S in the calculation must not be a zero. It is, though, not the case with Java’s implementation of the verification.

“Java’s implementation of ECDSA signature verification didn’t check if R or S were zero, so you could produce a signature value in which they are both 0 (appropriately encoded) and Java would accept it as a valid signature for any message and for any public key,” Madden said.

Echoing the severity highlighted by Madden, security expert Thomas Ptacek said that the issue is the “crypto bug of the year.”

Data security firm Sophos in a blog post also pointed out that the bug is not just impacting Java servers that are interacting with client software.

“Any device that consumes digitally-signed data inside your network could be at risk,” it said.

The affected Java versions — Java 15 to 18 — are thankfully not as widely used as its previous releases. According to the data in a survey conducted between February and March 2021, cybersecurity firm Snyk said that Java 11 accounted for over 61 percent of total deployments, while Java 15 had a share of 12 percent.

Nevertheless, IT administrators and organisations are advised to quickly update their Java version to avoid instances of any future attacks.

Central African Republic Becomes First African Nation to Make Bitcoin Legal Tender

The Central African Republic, a landlocked nation which lies roughly at the centre of the African continent, has become the first African country to declare Bitcoin legal tender. The Ministry of Finance and Budget and the Ministry of Digital Economy, Postal Services, and Telecommunications have submitted a joint document that recognises Bitcoin as an acceptable currency in the Central African Republic. Additionally, the document detailed the legal framework for crypto adoption in the country. Support has also arrived in the form of opposition parties in the country who believe that the country can benefit from digital assets.

The National Assembly believes that the new Bitcoin law will help the Central African Republic’s economic recovery. As per a report by RFI, the state-owned international radio broadcaster of France, the move to make Bitcoin legal tender in the Central African Republic came from the National Assembly, which unanimously passed the bill.

The Minister of Finance and Budget Calixte Nganongo, and the Minister of Digital Economy Gourna Zacko initiated and introduced the Bitcoin legislation. The Ministers submitted to the legislation governing Bitcoin and crypto regulation in the Central African Republic.

The new law would reportedly allow traders and businesses to make crypto payments and make way for tax payments in crypto through authorised entities.

The new crypto law has also made provisions for offenders who break the laws. According to a separate report by CoinTribune, offenders could be jailed for up to 20 years and fined between 100,000,000 to 1,000,000,000 Central African CFA Francs (roughly Rs. 1.25 crore to 12.5 crore).

In September 2021, El Salvador became the first country in the world to announce Bitcoin as a legal tender. El Salvador president Nayib Bukele said in November that the country is planning to develop a “Bitcoin City”. According to the pro-Bitcoin president, sales of Bitcoin bonds with a 6.5 percent coupon rate within the first five years will fund the development of Bitcoin City.

As the adoption of Bitcoin continues to grow, a special economic zone of Prospera has also recognised BTC as an acceptable currency. Following the announcement, municipalities in Honduras are now allowed to issue bonds in BTC to attract foreign investments.

NASA Mars Reconnaisance Orbiter Catches a Glimpse of Earth and Moon in One Frame

Ever wondered how the Earth and the Moon would appear when seen from a Martian orbit? NASA has shared an image that showed them together in a single frame. The image was caught by NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) when the Earth was 142 million kilometres from Mars. In the image, only the visible parts of the Earth and the Moon can be seen. While the Earth appeared in blue, the moon looked white against a dark, black canvas. The image was taken by MRO’s High-Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera, NASA said.

Although the image was taken in October 2007, it has been again shared by NASA this week. The US space agency said each of its seven missions currently exploring Mars, including the Perseverance and Curiosity rovers, is “really a NASA Earthling”. They act as the eyes of the scientists exploring the Red Planet. These robots also help deepen our appreciation for the Earth, the agency said.

Although clouds are the dominant feature in the Earth image, it showed the west coast outline of South America at the lower right.

NASA said in a statement that at the time the image was captured the phase angle was 98 degrees, meaning that less than half of the disk of the Earth and the disk of the moon have direct illumination. NASA said the MRO can image Earth and moon at full disk illumination only when they are on the opposite side of the Sun from Mars. But there’s one problem: the range would be much greater and the image would have less detail compared to this one.

The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter was launched in August 2005 and it was inserted into Mars orbit in March 2006. Its primary objective was to learn more about the Red Planet, including the history of water flows on or near the Martian surface. It has also been a key data relay station for other Mars missions.

ISRO, IISc Develop Bacteria-Infused ‘Space Bricks’ to Build Structures On Mars

Humans will require spaces to live in if they are to be sent to planets like Mars. So, the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in Bengaluru has collaborated with the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to develop a prototype for Martian and lunar soil bricks to be used in the construction of habitats for human settlements on the Red Planet. The team demonstrates how “space bricks” for constructing a habitat on Mars could be manufactured using a combination of indigenous Martian soil, bacteria, and urea, a waste chemical removed by mammals through urine. These “space bricks” may then be used to construct structures on Mars, potentially making human colonisation easier.

To make the “space bricks”, the researchers first created a slurry of simulated Martian soil with guar gum – a product of processed guar beans – urea, nickel chloride, and the bacterium Sporosarcina pasteurii.This is mixed, and the slurry can be poured into moulds of any shape. The bacteria then convert the urea into calcium carbonate crystals over the course of a few days. These crystals, in combination with biopolymers generated by bacteria, serve as the cement that holds soil particles together.

According to a statement, the researchers had previously tried to build “space bricks” with simulated lunar soil, but they could only produce cylindrical bricks. However, with their new Martian method, which involves hardening a slurry mix in a mould, they can make bricks of any shape.

“The bacteria seep deep into the pore spaces, using their own proteins to bind the particles together, decreasing porosity and leading to stronger bricks,” said Aloke Kumar, Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at IISc, and one of the authors of the paper.

About the addition of nickel chloride, Kumar said, “In the beginning, our bacteria did not grow at all. Adding nickel chloride was the key step in making the soil hospitable to the bacteria.”

The findings were published in the journal PLOS One in its April 14 edition.

The research team intends to look into how Mars’ atmosphere and low gravity could affect the strength of the “space bricks”. The Martian atmosphere is 100 times thinner than Earth’s, and it includes more than 95 percent carbon dioxide, which might have a big impact on bacterial growth. The researchers built a device called MARS (Martian AtmospheRe Simulator) that consists of a chamber to simulate the atmospheric conditions found on Mars in the lab.
