CVE-2017-3738 – openssl: rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2017-3738

07 Dec 2017 — There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH1024 are considered just feasible, because most of the work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be sign... • http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/security-advisory/cpuapr2018-3678067.html • CWE-190: Integer Overflow or Wraparound CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor •
