2) Memory-cache side-channel attack

EUVDB-ID: #VU13370

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 1.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-0495

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

The vulnerability allows a local attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a leakage of information through memory caches when the affected library uses a private key to create Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) signatures.  A local attacker can conduct a memory-cache side-channel attack on ECDSA signatures and recover sensitive information, such as ECDSA private keys, which could be used to conduct further attacks. 

Note: The vulnerability is known as the "Return Of the Hidden Number Problem" or ROHNP.

Mitigation

3) Improper input validation

EUVDB-ID: #VU13325

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 6.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-0732

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper handling of large prime values by the affected software during key agreement operations in a Transport Layer Security (TLS) handshake using an Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman (DHE) based cipher suite. A remote attacker can send a large prime value from a malicious OpenSSL server to a targeted OpenSSL client and cause the client to stop responding while generating a key for the prime value.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.

4) Information disclosure

EUVDB-ID: #VU11854

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 1.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-0737

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information on the target system.

The weakness exists in the RSA key generation algorithm's BN_mod_inverse() and BN_mod_exp_mont() functions due to a cache timing side channel attack. A local attacker can recover the private key.
