JLSEC-2026-123

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 mpipowm, and the window size is not chosen appropriately. This, for example, affects use of ElGamal in OpenPGP...

JLSEC-2026-124

The ElGamal implementation in Libgcrypt before 1.9.4 allows plaintext recovery because, during interaction between two cryptographic libraries, a certain dangerous combination of the prime defined by the receiver's public key, the generator defined by the receiver's public key, and the sender's...

Amazon Linux 2023 : python3-crypto (ALAS2023-2025-1051)

It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2023-2025-1051 advisory. lib/Crypto/PublicKey/ElGamal.py in PyCrypto through 2.6.1 generates weak ElGamal key parameters, which allows attackers to obtain sensitive information by reading ciphertext data i.e., it does not have...

Medium: python-crypto

Issue Overview: lib/Crypto/PublicKey/ElGamal.py in PyCrypto through 2.6.1 generates weak ElGamal key parameters, which allows attackers to obtain sensitive information by reading ciphertext data i.e., it does not have semantic security in face of a ciphertext-only attack. The Decisional...

MGASA-2021-0446 Updated libgcrypt packages fix security vulnerability

The updated packages fix a security vulnerability: The ElGamal implementation in Libgcrypt before 1.9.4 allows plaintext recovery because, during interaction between two cryptographic libraries, a certain dangerous combination of the prime defined by the receiver's public key, the generator defin...

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.
