Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.


1) Inadequate Encryption Strength (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0361)

CWE-ID: CWE-326 - Inadequate Encryption Strength

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.

The vulnerability exists due to an error in the TLS RSA key exchange. A remote attacker can perform Bleichenbacher oracle attack and decrypt information.


2) Information Exposure Through Timing Discrepancy (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-5981)

CWE-ID: CWE-208 - Information Exposure Through Timing Discrepancy

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform timing attack.

The vulnerability exists due to the response times to malformed ciphertexts in RSA-PSK ClientKeyExchange differ from response times of ciphertexts with correct PKCS#1 v1.5 padding. A remote attacker can perform timing sidechannel attack in RSA-PSK key exchange.
