Vendor: OpenSSL Software Foundation
Description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform padding oracle attack.
The vulnerability exists due to possibility to perform a Bleichenbacher padding oracle attack against the RSA key, in situations where an attacker receives automated notification of the success or failure of a decryption attempt an attacker. A remote attacker can send a very large number of messages to be decrypted, can recover a CMS/PKCS7 transported encryption key or decrypt any RSA encrypted message that was encrypted with the public RSA key.
Mitigation
Install updates from vendor's website.
