Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Information disclosure
EUVDB-ID: #VU15668
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 4.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-0734
CWE-ID:
CWE-200 - Information exposure
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to unspecified flaw in Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA). A local attacker can conduct a timing side-channel attack and recover the private key, which could be used to conduct further attacks.
MitigationUpdate the affected package lib32-openssl to version 1
Vulnerable software versionsArch Linux: All versions
CPE2.3 External linkshttp://security.archlinux.org/advisory/ASA-201812-6
