Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains one medium risk vulnerability.
1) Cryptographic issues
EUVDB-ID: #VU32820
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 4.6 [CVSS:3.1/CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2012-0884
CWE-ID:
CWE-310 - Cryptographic Issues
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The implementation of Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) and PKCS #7 in OpenSSL before 0.9.8u and 1.x before 1.0.0h does not properly restrict certain oracle behavior, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to decrypt data via a Million Message Attack (MMA) adaptive chosen ciphertext attack.
MitigationInstall update from vendor's website.
Vulnerable software versionsopenssl (Alpine package): 0.9.8l-r0 - 1.0.0g-r0
