Our update on the KeepKey Vulnerability Disclosure.

On September 19th, 2019 we released an update to KeepKey’s firmware. Firmware version 6.2.2 contains fixes for 9 different vulnerabilities that were reported by researcher Christian Reitter via ShapeShift’s Responsible Disclosure Program. Two of these vulnerabilities are described in the following CVEs:

CVE-2019–18671 — USB Packet Handling Bug could allow out-of-bound writes in device memory.

CVE-2019–18672 — Mnemonic Wipe Bug could allow the mnemonic seed to be wiped from a KeepKey, causing the device to derive addresses from the well-known “null” mnemonic seed and U2F websites to fail to authenticate.

You can read more details about the two vulnerabilities on MITRE’s website once they’re fully published. All 9 vulnerabilities were fixed in KeepKey Firmware 6.2.2 which was released on September 19th, 2019.
