Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.
1) Use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-1559)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to decrypt sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to the way an application behaves, when it receives a 0-byte record with invalid padding compared to the record with an invalid MAC, which results in padding oracle. A remote attacker can decrypt data.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that the application is using "non-stitched" ciphersuites and calls SSL_shutdown() twice (first, via a BAD_RECORD_MAC and again via a CLOSE_NOTIFY).Remediation
