CVE-2011-1096

The W3C XML Encryption Standard, as used in the JBoss Web Services JBossWS component in JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform before 5.2.2 and other products, when using block ciphers in cipher-block chaining CBC mode, allows remote attackers to obtain plaintext data via a chosen-ciphertext attack on...

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...

DEBIAN-CVE-2006-0898

Crypt::CBC Perl module 2.16 and earlier, when running in RandomIV mode, uses an initialization vector IV of 8 bytes, which results in weaker encryption when used with a cipher that requires a larger block size than 8 bytes, such as Rijndael...
