Descriptions

Crypto++ (aka cryptopp) through 5.6.4 does not document the requirement for a compile-time NDEBUG definition disabling the many assert calls that are unintended in production use, which might allow context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information by leveraging access to process memory after an assertion failure, as demonstrated by reading a core dump.

Crypto++ (también conocido como cryptopp) hasta la versión 5.6.4 no documenta el requisito para una definición NDEBUG de tiempo de compilación deshabilitando las múltiples llamadas assert que son no intencionadas en uso de producción, lo que podría permitir a atacantes dependientes del contexto obtener información sensible aprovechando acceso a la memoria de procesamiento después de un fallo de aserción, según lo demostrado mediante la lectura de un volcado de memoria.
