CVE detail
CVE-2018-0737
The OpenSSL RSA Key generation algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a cache timing side channel attack. An attacker with sufficient access to mount cache timing attacks during the RSA key generation process could recover the private key. Fixed in OpenSSL 1.1.0i-dev (Affected 1.1.0-1.1.0h). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.0.2p-dev (Affected 1.0.2b-1.0.2o).

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have discovered a way to foil memory-timing side-channel attacks that’s more efficient than other methods. The attacks can be used to steal secrets such as cryptographic keys or user passwords stored in a computer’s memory. According to a report by the researchers, the attacks are enabled by shared […]
