Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Observable discrepancy (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-50782)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to excessive data output by the application. A remote attacker can decrypt captured messages in TLS servers that use RSA key exchanges, which may lead to exposure of confidential or sensitive data.


2) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-41996)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to unnecessary validation of the public keys in the Diffie-Hellman Key Agreement Protocol when an approved safe prime is used. A remote attacker from the client side can trigger unnecessarily expensive server-side DHE modular-exponentiation calculations and cause asymmetric resource consumption, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) attack.
