Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a physical attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information on the target system.
The weakness exists due to the absence of a cryptographic link between the password provided by the end user and the cryptographic key used to encrypt user data. A physical attacker can access the key without knowing the password provided by the end user and decrypt information encrypted with that key.
