Bit Flipping Attack

parsel is vulnerable to bit flipping attack. The use of an insecure cryptographic algorithm aes-256-cbc without any integrity checks causes its ciphertext to be easily broken by bit-flipping attacks...

Insecure Cryptography Algorithm

Overview All versions of parsel use an insecure cryptography algorithm. The package uses aes-256-cbc without integrity checks, which renders the ciphertext vulnerable to bit-flipping attacks. Recommendation The package is deprecated and will not be updated. Consider using an alternative package...

Bit-Flipping Attack

Amendment This was deemed not a vulnerability. Overview parsel is a gem to encrypt and decrypt data with a given key. Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Bit-Flipping Attack via the ciphertext function. AES-256-CBC, the construct used in parsel.rb, has no integrity check i.e., the...

New PlunderVolt Attack Targets Intel SGX Enclaves by Tweaking CPU Voltage

A team of cybersecurity researchers demonstrated a novel yet another technique to hijack Intel SGX, a hardware-isolated trusted space on modern Intel CPUs that encrypts extremely sensitive data to shield it from attackers even when a system gets compromised. Dubbed Plundervolt and tracked as...

Nethammer—Exploiting DRAM Rowhammer Bug Through Network Requests

Last week, we reported about the first network-based remote Rowhammer attack, dubbed Throwhammer, which involves the exploitation a known vulnerability in DRAM through network cards using remote direct memory access RDMA channels. However, a separate team of security researchers has now...

Insecure Cipher Implementation

github.com/meshbird/meshbird is vulnerable to insecure cipher implementation. The library uses unauthenticated AES-CBC which is vulnerable to bit flipping attacks...

DRAM Rowhammer vulnerability Leads to Kernel Privilege Escalation

Security researchers have find out ways to hijack the Intel-compatible PCs running Linux by exploiting the physical weaknesses in certain varieties of DDR DRAM double data rate dynamic random-access memory chips and gaining higher kernel privileges on the system. The technique, dubbed "rowhammer"...

CVE-2005-0039

Certain configurations of IPsec, when using Encapsulating Security Payload ESP in tunnel mode, integrity protection at a higher layer, or Authentication Header AH, allow remote attackers to decrypt IPSec communications by modifying the outer packet in ways that cause plaintext data from the inner...
