EUVDB-ID: #VU33317

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 3.2 [CVSS:3.1/CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2013-0169

CWE-ID: CWE-310 - Cryptographic Issues

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The TLS protocol 1.1 and 1.2 and the DTLS protocol 1.0 and 1.2, as used in OpenSSL, OpenJDK, PolarSSL, and other products, do not properly consider timing side-channel attacks on a MAC check requirement during the processing of malformed CBC padding, which allows remote attackers to conduct distinguishing attacks and plaintext-recovery attacks via statistical analysis of timing data for crafted packets, aka the "Lucky Thirteen" issue. Per http://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities.html: Fixed in OpenSSL 1.0.1d (Affected 1.0.1c, 1.0.1b, 1.0.1a, 1.0.1) Fixed in OpenSSL 1.0.0k (Affected 1.0.0j, 1.0.0i, 1.0.0g, 1.0.0f, 1.0.0e, 1.0.0d, 1.0.0c, 1.0.0b, 1.0.0a, 1.0.0) Fixed in OpenSSL 0.9.8y (Affected 0.9.8x, 0.9.8w, 0.9.8v, 0.9.8u, 0.9.8t, 0.9.8s, 0.9.8r, 0.9.8q, 0.9.8p, 0.9.8o, 0.9.8n, 0.9.8m, 0.9.8l, 0.9.8k, 0.9.8j, 0.9.8i, 0.9.8h, 0.9.8g, 0.9.8f, 0.9.8d, 0.9.8c, 0.9.8b, 0.9.8a, 0.9.8) Affected users should upgrade to OpenSSL 1.0.1e, 1.0.0k or 0.9.8y (The fix in 1.0.1d wasn't complete, so please use 1.0.1e or later)

Mitigation
