Descriptions

In the Bouncy Castle JCE Provider version 1.55 and earlier the DHIES/ECIES CBC mode vulnerable to padding oracle attack. For BC 1.55 and older, in an environment where timings can be easily observed, it is possible with enough observations to identify when the decryption is failing due to padding.

En Bouncy Castle JCE Provider, en versiones 1.55 y anteriores, el modo DHIES/ECIES CBC es vulnerable a ataques de oráculo de relleno. Para BC 1.55 y anteriores, en un entorno en el que las sincronizaciones pueden observarse fácilmente, es posible identificar con la suficiente atención en qué punto falla el descifrado debido al relleno.
