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...

CVE-2017-17382

CVE-2017-17382 affects Citrix NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway (versions 10.5 before 67.13, 11.0 before 71.22, 11.1 before 56.19, and 12.0 before 53.22). The root cause is a Bleichenbacher RSA padding oracle that could allow a remote attacker to decrypt TLS ciphertext, i.e., a ROBOT-style atta...

ROBOT Attack

BouncyCastle is vulnerable to the ROBOT attack. An attacker can leverage a variation of the Bleichenbacher chosen-cipher text attack to break confidentiality of TLS when used with RSA...

UBUNTU-CVE-2017-13098

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...

ROBOT Attack: 19-Year-Old Bleichenbacher Attack On Encrypted Web Reintroduced

A 19-year-old vulnerability has been re-discovered in the RSA implementation from at least 8 different vendors—including F5, Citrix, and Cisco—that can give man-in-the-middle attackers access to encrypted messages. Dubbed ROBOT Return of Bleichenbacher's Oracle Attack, the attack allows an attack...
