Description

A TLS connection handling flaw has been discovered in the golang crypto/tls library. During the TLS 1.3 handshake if multiple messages are sent in records that span encryption level boundaries (for instance the Client Hello and Encrypted Extensions messages), the subsequent messages may be processed before the encryption level changes. This can cause some minor information disclosure if a network-local attacker can inject messages during the handshake.

Statement

The data leak after exploitation of this vulnerability is minor, data such as Handshake message contents that should have been processed only after switching to a stronger TLS 1.3 encryption level, Protocol state details such as which handshake message was processed when, Timing and ordering information about the TLS 1.3 state.
