CVE-2024-30171

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.

Mitigation

Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options don't meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
