CVE-2026-85515 Bouncy Castle OpenPGP 加密消息截断处理不当漏洞
影响攻击者可截断加密消息而不被检测,破坏完整性校验
Bouncy Castle for Java 1.86 之前版本在处理被截断的 OpenPGP 加密消息时存在缺陷,截断被检测到后却被当作正常消息结束处理,未向调用方报告错误。在 SEIPD version 1 路径上甚至完全未执行完整性校验,AEAD 路径也可能跳过尾部消息认证标签的验证。
影响范围
Bouncy Castle for Java 1.86 之前的版本,涉及 OpenPGP 消息解析(BCPGInputStream)及 SEIPD v1、SEIPD v2/version 5 AEAD 处理路径。
漏洞详情
该漏洞属于加密消息截断处理不当导致的完整性校验绕过。当消息被截断但外层包长度字段未改变时,PartialInputStream 抛出 EOFException,而 nextPacketTag() 将其误判为消息正常结束,导致上层停止读取;在 AEAD 路径下,当字面数据包恰好在 AEAD 分块边界结束且消费者按小于一个分块的增量读取时,预读会触发截断分块读取,使代码无法到达 RFC 9580 第 5.13.2 节要求的尾部消息认证标签。
利用条件与风险
攻击者需能截断或篡改传输中的 OpenPGP 加密消息,实战中可导致接收方在未察觉的情况下接受不完整或被篡改的明文,破坏消息完整性与真实性保证。
修复建议
升级 Bouncy Castle for Java 至 1.86 或更高版本。暂无公开的临时缓解措施信息。
In Bouncy Castle for Java before 1.86, a truncated OpenPGP encrypted message was accepted with no error reported, and on the SEIPD version 1 path with no integrity check performed at all. RFC 9580 sec. 13.7 permits an implementation to release the cleartext of the fully authenticated chunks when streaming but requires it to indicate a clear error as soon as the truncation is detected, and to report suspect integrity when it discovers malleable ciphertext. The truncation was detected and then discarded: when a message is truncated but the length field of the enclosing packet is left unchanged, BCPGInputStream.PartialInputStream raises an EOFException for the missing ciphertext, and BCPGInputStream.nextPacketTag() reports an EOFException as a clean end of message, so the packet stream above it stopped as though no packets remained. On the AEAD path (SEIPD version 2 and the version 5 AEAD packet), when the literal data packet ended on an AEAD chunk boundary and the consumer read in increments smaller than one chunk, the look-ahead for the packet after the literal triggered the truncated chunk read, so BcAEADUtil and JceAEADUtil never reached the trailing message tag of sec. 5.13.2 that authenticates the total plaintext length; the caller received the plaintext of the fully authenticated chunks, every packet following the literal was silently dropped, and no exception was raised, so a signed and encrypted message read back as a well-formed unsigned one. Every byte released on that path remained individually authenticated, making this a missing truncation error rather than a forgery, and it is a residual of CVE-2026-12817, which closed the same outcome for an attacker who corrects the outer packet length. On the SEIPD version 1 path the consequence was more serious: IntegrityProtectedInputStream verifies the modification detection code from close(), and reached close() only by closing itself when a read of it returned -1, which a truncated message never produces, so PGPEncryptedData.verify() never ran and the recipient was handed CFB-decrypted plaintext on which no integrity check of any kind had been performed. Measured on a message truncated into that shape, 136 distinct single-byte modifications of the ciphertext produced accepted, altered plaintext with no exception raised. Reachability is a property of the message rather than of attacker-supplied input: the AEAD shape held for 3 of 131 consecutive payload lengths measured, and the SEIPD version 1 shape for one payload length in sixteen, at a truncation offset that did not move with the payload length. The low-level API is unaffected, a caller that invokes PGPEncryptedData.verify() directly getting the check regardless, as are consumers reading in increments of a whole AEAD chunk or more. The AEAD decryption streams now re-throw such an EOFException as a plain IOException, which nextPacketTag() does not launder; OpenPGPMessageInputStream.close() now closes its layer’s integrity-protected stream itself rather than relying on that stream having seen the end of its data; and IntegrityProtectedInputStream.close() was made idempotent, as java.io.Closeable requires, which that depends on, since the stream is genuinely closed twice on the ordinary path and PGPEncryptedData.verify() consumes the digest state behind it and cannot be run a second time. This issue also affects Bouncy Castle for Java LTS before 2.73.13, on the AEAD route only, as that edition does not ship the high-level OpenPGP API the SEIPDv1 route runs through. It also affects Bouncy Castle for Java FIPS (BC-FJA) before bcpg-fips 1.0.14 (1.0.X series), 2.0.14.1 (2.0.X series) and 2.1.14 (2.1.X series), on the AEAD route only, as those editions do not ship the high-level OpenPGP API.
