Lenovo Security Advisory: LEN-15552
Potential Impact: RSA keys generated by the Infineon TPM using certain firmware levels are insecure
Severity: Varies; None to High
**Scope of Impact:**Industry-Wide
CVE Identifier: CVE-2017-15361
Summary Description:
A vulnerability was identified in the RSA key generation method used by Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs) manufactured by Infineon and contained in some Lenovo products. RSA public keys generated by the Infineon TPM for use by certain software programs should be considered insecure. No TPMs from other manufacturers are affected.
Only software that uses RSA keys generated by the TPM is affected by this vulnerability. No Lenovo-developed software uses the TPM for this purpose. Please see the Infineon advisory located here for more details.
The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a microcontroller on the system board used to securely store artifacts used to authenticate the platform, such as passwords, certificates or encryption keys, or measurements to ensure your system is trustworthy.
