Evidence for the Security of PKCS #1 Digital Signatures

This is interesting research: "On the Security of the PKCS1 v1.5 Signature Scheme": Abstract: The RSA PKCS1 v1.5 signature algorithm is the most widely used digital signature scheme in practice. Its two main strengths are its extreme simplicity, which makes it very easy to implement, and that...

Debian DSA-4305-1 : strongswan - security update

Sze Yiu Chau and his team from Purdue University and The University of Iowa found several issues in the gmp plugin for strongSwan, an IKE/IPsec suite. Problems in the parsing and verification of RSA signatures could lead to a Bleichenbacher-style low-exponent signature forgery in certificates and...

CVE-2016-7074

CVE-2016-7074 affects PowerDNS (authoritative server and recursor): insufficient TSIG validation allows MITM to alter AXFR content due to missing check that the TSIG record is last, enabling parsing of records outside the TSIG scope. Affected: PowerDNS versions before 3.4.11/4.0.2 and recursor be...

bouncycastle: Information exposure in DSA signature generation via timing attack

In the Bouncy Castle JCE Provider version 1.55 and earlier DSA signature generation is vulnerable to timing attack. Where timings can be closely observed for the generation of signatures, the lack of blinding in 1.55, or earlier, may allow an attacker to gain information about the signature's k...

Sensitive Data Exposure in msrcrypto

Versions of msrcrypto prior to 1.4.1 are vulnerable to Sensitive Data Exposure. The package's Elliptic Curve Cryptography ECC implementation may leak information about a server's private ECC key. It can also allow attackers to craft invalid ECDSA signatures that pass as valid. There is no publish...
