Descriptions

LibTomCrypt through 1.18.1 allows a memory-cache side-channel attack on ECDSA signatures, 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.

LibTomCrypt hasta la versión 1.18.1 permite un ataque de canal lateral por caché de memoria en las firmas DSA y ECDSA. Esto también se conoce como Return Of the Hidden Number Problem (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.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Dropbear, the worst of which could result in a Denial of Service condition. Versions less than 2020.80 are affected.
