Descriptions

Libgcrypt before 1.7.10 and 1.8.x before 1.8.3 allows a memory-cache side-channel attack on ECDSA signatures that can be mitigated through the use of blinding during the signing process in the _gcry_ecc_ecdsa_sign function in cipher/ecc-ecdsa.c, aka the Return Of the Hidden Number Problem or ROHNP. To discover an ECDSA key, the attacker needs access to either the local machine or a different virtual machine on the same physical host.

Libgcrypt en versiones anteriores a la 1.7.10 y versiones 1.8.x anteriores a la 1.8.3 permite un ataque de canal lateral por caché de memoria en las firmas ECDSA que se puede mitigar mediante el uso de la ocultación durante el proceso de firmado en la función _gcry_ecc_ecdsa_sign en cipher/ecc-ecdsa.c. Esto también se conoce como Return Of the Hidden Number Problem o ROHNP. Para descubrir una clave ECDSA, el atacante necesita acceso a la máquina local o a una máquina virtual diferente en el mismo host físico.
