An issue was discovered in Fort before 1.6.3. A malicious RPKI repository that descends from a (trusted) Trust Anchor can serve (via rsync or RRDP) an ROA or a Manifest containing a signedAttrs encoded in non-canonical form. This bypasses Fort's BER decoder, reaching a point in the code that panics when faced with data not encoded in DER. Because Fort is an RPKI Relying Party, a panic can lead to Route Origin Validation unavailability, which can lead to compromised routing.

CVE-2024-45236 [HIGH] FORT Validator vulnerabilities
Title: FORT Validator vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in FORT Validator.
Niklas Vogel and Haya Schulmann discovered that FORT Validator did not
perform proper input validation when parsing certain RPKI repository data.
A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause FORT Validator to
crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2024-45234, CVE-2024-45235,
CVE-2024-45236, CVE-2024-45238, CVE-2024-45239)
Niklas Vogel and Haya Schulmann discovered that FORT Validator did not
perform proper input validation when parsing resource certificates. A
remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service
or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-45237)

An issue was discovered in Fort before 1.6.3. A malicious RPKI repository that descends from a (trusted) Trust Anchor can serve (via rsync or RRDP) an ROA or a Manifest containing a signedAttrs encoded in non-canonical form. This bypasses Fort's BER decoder, reaching a point in the code that panics when faced with data not encoded in DER. Because Fort is an RPKI Relying Party, a panic can lead to Route Origin Validation unavailability, which can lead to compromised routing.
