CVE-2024-34063

Encryption-secret exposure via disabled dependency zeroization

Published May 3, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Memory exposure in Matrix.org vodozemac 0.5.0 through 0.5.1 allows local users to expose encryption secrets through process-memory access. The Cargo manifest disabled default features on the Dalek dependencies without enabling their zeroize feature, so the dependencies did not clear secret-bearing values on drop. Exploitation requires local low-privilege access to residual process memory; the result is limited to increased confidentiality risk from extra or longer-lived secret copies.
