REDHAT-BUG-2269723

First published: Fri Mar 15 2024(Updated: )

Description: A timing based side-channel exists in the rust-openssl package which could be sufficient to recover a plaintext across a network in a Bleichenbacher style attack. To achieve successful decryption an attacker would have to be able to send a large number of trial messages for decryption. The vulnerability affects the legacy PKCS#1v1.5 RSA encryption padding mode.
