Cache Timing Side Channel Attack on OpenSSL RSA Key Generation Algorithm

CVE-2018-0737 · MEDIUM Severity

AV:N/AC:M/AU:N/C:P/I:N/A:N

The OpenSSL RSA Key generation algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a cache timing side channel attack. An attacker with sufficient access to mount cache timing attacks during the RSA key generation process could recover the private key. Fixed in OpenSSL 1.1.0i-dev (Affected 1.1.0-1.1.0h). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.0.2p-dev (Affected 1.0.2b-1.0.2o).
