A vulnerability has been discovered in OpenSSL, a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) implementation. In an upcoming paper, Brice Canvel (EPFL), Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion) describe and demonstrate a timing-based attack on CBC cipher suites used in SSL and TLS. OpenSSL has been found to be vulnerable to this attack.
