CVE-2017-13091: The P1735 IEEE standard describes flawed methods for encrypting electronic-design intellectual property (IP), including improperly specified padding in CBC mode allows use of an EDA tool as a decryption oracle

The P1735 IEEE standard describes flawed methods for encrypting electronic-design intellectual property (IP), as well as the management of access rights for such IP, including improperly specified padding in CBC mode allows use of an EDA tool as a decryption oracle. The methods are flawed and, in the most egregious cases, enable attack vectors that allow recovery of the entire underlying plaintext IP. Implementations of IEEE P1735 may be weak to cryptographic attacks that allow an attacker to obtain plaintext intellectual property without the key, among other impacts.

Security readout for executives and security teams

IEEE P1735 was intended to protect electronic-design intellectual property, but its encryption methods were flawed. In some implementations, an EDA tool can act like a decryption oracle, potentially exposing protected design IP without the key. Exposure is most likely where organizations exchange, consume, or distribute IEEE P1735-protected electronic-design IP through EDA tools implementing the standard. Prioritize this for semiconductor, hardware, and IP licensing environments where design confidentiality is business-critical. Urgency depends on actual P1735 use and vendor implementation exposure. Mitigation focus: Check CERT VU#739007 and relevant EDA vendor guidance.; Inventory use of IEEE P1735-protected IP across design workflows.; Do not rely on P1735 encryption alone for highly sensitive IP..
