Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-0379)
CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor
CVSSv4: 8.7 [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]
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
Libgcrypt before 1.8.1 does not properly consider Curve25519 side-channel attacks, which makes it easier for attackers to discover a secret key, related to cipher/ecc.c and mpi/ec.c.
