Vulnerability identifier: #VU32820
Vulnerability risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 4.6 [CVSS:3.1/CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID:
CWE-ID:
CWE-310
Exploitation vector: Network
Exploit availability: No
Vulnerable software:
OpenSSL
Server applications /
Encryption software
Vendor: OpenSSL Software Foundation
Description
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The implementation of Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) and PKCS #7 in OpenSSL before 0.9.8u and 1.x before 1.0.0h does not properly restrict certain oracle behavior, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to decrypt data via a Million Message Attack (MMA) adaptive chosen ciphertext attack.
Mitigation
Install update from vendor's website.
Vulnerable software versions
OpenSSL: 0.9.0b, 0.9.1b - 0.9.1c, 0.9.2b, 0.9.3 - 0.9.3a, 0.9.5 - 0.9.5a, 0.9.6 - 0.9.6m, 0.9.7 - 0.9.7m, 0.9.8 - 0.9.8t, 1.0.0 - 1.0.0g
