CVE-2013-1624

Publication date 8 February 2013

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

The TLS implementation in the Bouncy Castle Java library before 1.48 and C# library before 1.8 does not properly consider timing side-channel attacks on a noncompliant MAC check operation during the processing of malformed CBC padding, which allows remote attackers to conduct distinguishing attacks and plaintext-recovery attacks via statistical analysis of timing data for crafted packets, a related issue to CVE-2013-0169.

I read all diffs in crypto/tls/ directory since Lucky 13 patches, the two listed here were the only ones that looked related to this problem, the other updates were mostly for style fixes.
