Amazon Linux AMI : libgcrypt (ALAS-2022-1578)

The version of libgcrypt installed on the remote host is prior to 1.5.3-12.20. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS-2022-1578 advisory.

  • Libgcrypt before 1.8.8 and 1.9.x before 1.9.3 mishandles ElGamal encryption because it lacks exponent blinding to address a side-channel attack against mpi_powm, and the window size is not chosen appropriately. This, for example, affects use of ElGamal in OpenPGP. (CVE-2021-33560)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
