SSL/TLS: Padding Oracle On Downgraded Legacy Encryption attack

A flaw was found in the way SSL 3.0 handled padding bytes when decrypting messages encrypted using block ciphers in cipher block chaining CBC mode. This flaw allows a man-in-the-middle MITM attacker to decrypt a selected byte of a cipher text in as few as 256 tries if they are able to force a...

openssl: uninitialized SSL 3.0 padding

The SSL 3.0 implementation in OpenSSL before 0.9.8s and 1.x before 1.0.0f does not properly initialize data structures for block cipher padding, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by decrypting the padding data sent by an SSL peer...
