CVE-2022-24773 (JavaScript, published 2022-03-18T14:15Z)
Description: value: Forge (also called `node-forge`) is a native implementation of Transport Layer Security in JavaScript. Prior to version 1.3.0, RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 signature verification code does not properly check `DigestInfo` for a proper ASN.1 structure. This can lead to successful verification with signatures that contain invalid structures but a valid digest. The issue has been addressed in `node-forge` version 1.3.0. There are currently no known workarounds.
Severity: MEDIUM (CVSS v3 base score: 5.3)
Weakness: CWE-347 \u2014 Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature
The product does not verify, or incorrectly verifies, the cryptographic signature for data.

Commit message: Fix signature verification issues.

**SECURITY**: Three RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 signature verification issues were
reported by Moosa Yahyazadeh (moosa-yahyazadeh@uiowa.edu):

- Leniency in checking `digestAlgorithm` structure can lead to signature
  forgery.
  - The code is lenient in checking the digest algorithm structure. This can
    allow a crafted structure that steals padding bytes and uses unchecked
    portion of the PKCS#1 encoded message to forge a signature when a low
    public exponent is being used.
- Failing to check tailing garbage bytes can lead to signature forgery.
  - The code does not check for tailing garbage bytes after decoding a
    `DigestInfo` ASN.1 structure. This can allow padding bytes to be removed
    and garbage data added to forge a signature when a low public exponent is
    being used.
- Leniency in checking type octet.
  - `DigestInfo` is not properly checked for proper ASN.1 structure. This can
    lead to successful verification with signatures that contain invalid
    structures but a valid digest.

For more information, please see "Bleichenbacher's RSA signature forgery based
on implementation error" by Hal Finney:
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/openpgp/5rnE9ZRN1AokBVj3VqblGlP63QE/

Fixed with the following:

- [asn1] `fromDer` is now more strict and will default to ensuring all
  input bytes are parsed or throw an error. A new option `parseAllBytes`
  can disable this behavior.
  - **NOTE**: The previous behavior is being changed since it can lead
    to security issues with crafted inputs. It is possible that code
    doing custom DER parsing may need to adapt to this new behavior and
    optional flag.
- [rsa] Add and use a validator to check for proper structure of parsed
  ASN.1 `RSASSA-PKCS-v1_5` `DigestInfo` data. Additionally check that
  the hash algorithm identifier is a known value. An invalid
  `DigestInfo` or algorithm identifier will now cause an error to be
  thrown.
- [oid] Added `1.2.840.113549.2.2` / `md2` for hash algorithm checking.
- [tests] Tests were added for all of the reported issues. A private
  verify option was added to assist in checking multiple possible
  failures in the test data.


Vulnerable code:
  return _fromDer(bytes, bytes.length(), 0, options);
  key.verify = function(digest, signature, scheme) {
          var obj = asn1.fromDer(d);
          return digest === obj.value[1].value;

Fixed code:
