Vulnerability in OpenSSL CVE-2003-0078

sl3getrecord in s3pkt.c did not perform a MAC computation if an incorrect block cipher padding was used, causing an information leak timing discrepancy that may make it easier to launch cryptographic attacks that rely on distinguishing between padding and MAC verification errors, possibly leading...

Timing attack vector for remember me token

The current rememberme token verification process leaves the application open to a timing attack. Since the default is for the token to be stored as a cookie and for cookies to be encrypted, an attacker would have to know the application secret to exploit this. However, should a custom guard be...
