A flaw in OpenSSL's POLY1305 MAC implementation on Windows 64-bit systems can corrupt application state when executed on newer x86_64 processors that support AVX512-IFMA instructions. During POLY1305 processing of input larger than 64 bytes, the affected implementation fails to preserve non-volatile XMM registers as required. Before returning to the caller, it zeroes those registers instead of restoring their prior contents. This can break assumptions made by the calling application and lead to state corruption outside the cryptographic routine itself. The issue is most relevant where an attacker can influence selection of POLY1305, commonly through CHACHA20-POLY1305 in TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3 server contexts. Affected versions are OpenSSL 1.1.1 through 1.1.1v, 3.0.0 through 3.0.10, and 3.1.0 through 3.1.2. OpenSSL 1.0.2 and the FIPS provider are not affected.

An OpenSSL POLY1305 MAC implementation flaw that corrupts XMM registers on Windows.
Unknown
A low-severity OpenSSL vulnerability in the POLY1305 MAC implementation on Windows x64 systems with AVX512-IFMA support that can corrupt application state by zeroing non-volatile XMM registers, potentially causing incorrect calculations, crashes, denial of service, or in worst cases application compromise.
