CVE-2025-49133 Information

Description

Libtpms is a library that targets the integration of TPM functionality into hypervisors primarily into Qemu. Libtpms which is derived from the TPM 2.0 reference implementation code published by the Trusted Computing Group is prone to a potential out of bounds (OOB) read vulnerability. The vulnerability occurs in the ‘CryptHmacSign’ function with an inconsistent pairing of the signKey and signScheme parameters where the signKey is ALG_KEYEDHASH key and inScheme is an ECC or RSA scheme. The reported vulnerability is in the ‘CryptHmacSign’ function which is defined in the \Part 4: Supporting Routines – Code\ document section \7.151 - /tpm/src/crypt/CryptUtil.c . This vulnerability can be triggered from user-mode applications by sending malicious commands to a TPM 2.0/vTPM (swtpm) whose firmware is based on an affected TCG reference implementation. The effect on libtpms is that it will cause an abort due to the detection of the out-of-bounds access thus for example making a vTPM (swtpm) unavailable to a VM. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.7.12 0.8.10 0.9.7 and 0.10.1.
