Descriptions

An issue was discovered in Bouncy Castle Java TLS API and JSSE Provider before 1.78. Timing-based leakage may occur in RSA based handshakes because of exception processing.

Se descubriĆ³ un problema en la API TLS Java de Bouncy Castle y en el proveedor JSSE anterior a la versiĆ³n 1.78. Es posible que se produzcan fugas basadas en el tiempo en los protocolos de enlace basados en RSA debido al procesamiento de excepciones.

A flaw was found in the Bouncy Castle Java cryptography APIs. Affected versions of the org.bouncycastle:bcprov-jdk18on package are vulnerable to Observable Timing Discrepancy via the PKCS#1 1.5 and OAEP decryption process (a.k.a. Marvin Attack). An attacker can recover cipher-texts via a side-channel attack by exploiting the Marvin security flaw. The PKCS#1 1.5 attack vector leaks data via javax.crypto.Cipher exceptions and the OAEP interface vector leaks via the bit size of the decrypted data.
