Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Cryptographic issues (CVE-ID: CVE-2014-9742)
CWE-ID: CWE-310 - Cryptographic Issues
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The Miller-Rabin primality check in Botan before 1.10.8 and 1.11.x before 1.11.9 improperly uses a single random base, which makes it easier for remote attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms via a DH group.
