SSL/TLS: "Invariance Weakness" vulnerability in RC4 stream cipher

The RC4 algorithm, as used in the TLS protocol and SSL protocol, does not properly combine state data with key data during the initialization phase, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct plaintext-recovery attacks against the initial bytes of a stream by sniffing network traffic...

Security Advisory 2868725: Recommendation to disable RC4

In light of recent research into practical attacks on biases in the RC4 stream cipher, Microsoft is recommending that customers enable TLS1.2 in their services and take steps to retire and deprecate RC4 as used in their TLS implementations. Microsoft recommends TLS1.2 with AES-GCM as a more secur...

CVE-2007-6340

Geert Moernaut LSrunasE 1.0 and Supercrypt 1.0 use the RC4 stream cipher without constructing a unique initialization vector IV, which makes it easier for local users to obtain cleartext passwords...

CVE-2007-6340

The connected advisory confirms CVE-2007-6340 affects LSrunasE 1.0 and Supercrypt 1.0 and explains the root cause: RC4 is used without a unique initialization vector, deriving a constant keystream across all passwords. This insecure design allows an attacker with local access to break encryption ...

CVE-2001-1469

The CVE-2001-1469 entry concerns the RC4-based use in SSH1, where remote attackers can modify messages without detection by XOR’ing the original message CRC with the CRC of a mask of the modified bits. Affected component is the RC4 stream cipher implementation within SSH1; impact is partial integ...

CVE-2001-1469

The RC4 stream cipher as used by SSH1 allows remote attackers to modify messages without detection by XORing the original message's cyclic redundancy check CRC with the CRC of a mask consisting of all the bits of the original message that were modified...
