What is CVE-2022-0317?

CVE-2022-0317 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Google LLC go-attestation, published on 4 Feb 2022. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.

Official description

An improper input validation vulnerability in go-attestation before 0.3.3 allows local users to provide a maliciously-formed Quote over no/some PCRs, causing AKPublic.Verify to succeed despite the inconsistency. Subsequent use of the same set of PCR values in Eventlog.Verify lacks the authentication performed by quote verification, meaning a local attacker could couple this vulnerability with a maliciously-crafted TCG log in Eventlog.Verify to spoof events in the TCG log, hence defeating remotely-attested measured-boot. We recommend upgrading to Version 0.4.0 or above.

Weakness: CWE-20
