Post-Quantum Algorithms

NIST has organized a competition for public-key algorithms secure against a quantum computer. It recently published all of its Round 1 submissions. Details of the NIST efforts are here. A timeline for the new algorithms is here...

Security Advisory - Weak Cryptography Vulnerability in Some Huawei Products

Some Huawei products have a weak cryptography vulnerability. Due to not properly some values in the certificates, an unauthenticated remote attacker could forges a specific RSA certificate and exploits the vulnerability to pass identity authentication and logs into the target device to obtain...

CVE-2017-1598

IBM Security Guardium 10.0 Database Activity Monitor uses weaker than expected cryptographic algorithms that could allow an attacker to decrypt highly sensitive information. IBM X-Force ID: 132611...

Attack of the Killer ROBOT

On Dec 12th, 2017, researchers Hanno Böck, Juraj Somorovsky and Craig Young published a paper detailing an attack they called the Return Of Bleichenbacher's Oracle Threat ROBOT. This attack, as the name implies, is an extension of an attack published in 1998 that affects systems using certain...

Legion of the Bouncy Castle TLS Information Disclosure Vulnerability

Legion of the Bouncy Castle is an open source, lightweight cipher package for the Java platform from Legion of the Bouncy Castle Australia.TLS is one of the secure transport layer protocols. An information disclosure vulnerability exists in Legion of the Bouncy Castle TLS versions prior to 1.0.3,...

OpenJDK: DSA implementation timing attack (JCE, 8175106)

A covert timing channel flaw was found in the DSA implementation in the JCE component of OpenJDK. A remote attacker able to make a Java application generate DSA signatures on demand could possibly use this flaw to extract certain information about the used key via a timing side channel...

OpenJDK: untrusted extension directories search path in Launcher (JCE, 8163528)

An untrusted library search path flaw was found in the JCE component of OpenJDK. A local attacker could possibly use this flaw to cause a Java application using JCE to load an attacker-controlled library and hence escalate their privileges...

Design/Logic Flaw

BouncyCastle TLS prior to version 1.0.3, when configured to use the JCE Java Cryptography Extension for cryptographic functions, provides a weak Bleichenbacher oracle when any TLS cipher suite using RSA key exchange is negotiated. An attacker can recover the private key from a vulnerable...

CVE-2017-13098 BouncyCastle JCE TLS Bleichenbacher/ROBOT

BouncyCastle TLS prior to version 1.0.3, when configured to use the JCE Java Cryptography Extension for cryptographic functions, provides a weak Bleichenbacher oracle when any TLS cipher suite using RSA key exchange is negotiated. An attacker can recover the private key from a vulnerable...

TLS implementations may disclose side channel information via discrepancies between valid and invalid PKCS#1 padding

Overview TLS implementations may disclose side channel information via discrepancies between valid and invalid PKCS1 padding, and may therefore be vulnerable to Bleichenbacher-style attacks. This attack is known as a "ROBOT attack". Description CWE-203: Information Exposure Through Discrepancy...

Sweet32 Attack

github.com/minio/minio is vulnerable to the Sweet32 cryptography attack. The library uses a Triple-DES cipher that is vulnerable to birthday attacks, allowing a malicious user to decrypt and obtain cleartext data faster than a standard brute-force attack...

CryKeX - Linux Memory Cryptographic Keys Extractor

CryKeX - Linux Memory Cryptographic Keys Extractor Properties: Cross-platform Minimalism Simplicity Interactivity Compatibility/Portability Application Independable Process Wrapping Process Injection Dependencies: Unix - should work on any Unix-based OS BASH - the whole script root privileges...

DEBIAN-CVE-2017-3738

There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely. Attack...

CVE-2017-14907

CVE-2017-14907 describes a cryptographic weakness in Android for MSM, Firefox OS for MSM, and QRD Android builds aligned with CAF Linux kernel, caused by a flaw in deriving the disk encryption key that reduces cryptographic strength. Publicly documented as a critical encryption bug affecting Qual...

On "Advanced" Network Security Monitoring

My TaoSecurity News page says I taught 41 classes lasting a day or more, from 2002 to 2014. All of these involved some aspect of network security monitoring NSM. Many times students would ask me when I would create the "advanced" version of the class, usually in the course feedback. I could never...
