CVSS v3.1 |
| ArGoSoft FTP before 1.4.2.1 generates an error message if the user name does not exist instead of prompting for a password, which allows remote attackers to determine valid usernames. |
| iptables-save in iptables before 1.2.4 records the "--reject-with icmp-host-prohibited" rule as "--reject-with tcp-reset," which causes iptables to generate different responses than specified by the administrator, possibly leading to an information leak. |
| PF in OpenBSD 3.0 with the return-rst rule sets the TTL to 128 in the RST packet, which allows remote attackers to determine if a port is being filtered because the TTL is different than the default TTL. |
| Joe Testa hellbent 01 allows remote attackers to determine the full path of the web root directory via a GET request with a relative path that includes the root's parent, which generates a 403 error message if the parent is incorrect, but a normal response if the parent is correct. |
| The NPSVG3.dll ActiveX control for Adobe SVG Viewer 3.02 and earlier, when running on Internet Explorer, allows remote attackers to determine the existence of arbitrary files by setting the src property to the target filename and using Javascript to determine if the web page immediately stops loading, which indicates whether the file exists or not. |
| ProFTPD 1.2.x, including 1.2.8 and 1.2.10, responds in a different amount of time when a given username exists, which allows remote attackers to identify valid usernames by timing the server response. |
| IPFilter 3.4.25 and earlier sets a different TTL when a port is being filtered than when it is not being filtered, which allows remote attackers to identify filtered ports by comparing TTLs. |
| CVS 1.11.x before 1.11.17, and 1.12.x before 1.12.9, allows remote attackers to determine the existence of arbitrary files and directories via the -X command for an alternate history file, which causes different error messages to be returned. |
| The web mail service in Woppoware PostMaster 4.2.2 (build 3.2.5) generates different error messages depending on whether a user exists or not, which allows remote attackers to determine valid usernames. |
| Nettica Corporation INTELLIPEER Email Server 1.01 displays different error messages for valid and invalid account names, which allows remote attackers to determine valid account names. |
| The firewall in Astaro Security Linux before 4.024 sends responses to SYN-FIN packets, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain information about the system and construct specialized attacks. |
| PGP Security PGPfire 7.1 for Windows alters the system's TCP/IP stack and modifies packets in ICMP error messages in a way that allows remote attackers to determine that the system is running PGPfire. |
| OpenSSH-portable (OpenSSH) 3.6.1p1 and earlier with PAM support enabled immediately sends an error message when a user does not exist, which allows remote attackers to determine valid usernames via a timing attack. |
| AIX 4.3.3 through AIX 5.1, when direct remote login is disabled, displays a different message if the password is correct, which allows remote attackers to guess the password via brute force methods. |
| YaBB 1 SP 1.3.1 displays different error messages when a user exists or not, which makes it easier for remote attackers to identify valid users and conduct a brute force password guessing attack. |
| Post-Quantum Secure Feldman's Verifiable Secret Sharing provides a Python implementation of Feldman's Verifiable Secret Sharing (VSS) scheme. In versions 0.8.0b2 and prior, the `feldman_vss` library contains timing side-channel vulnerabilities in its matrix operations, specifically within the `_find_secure_pivot` function and potentially other parts of `_secure_matrix_solve`. These vulnerabilities are due to Python's execution model, which does not guarantee constant-time execution. An attacker with the ability to measure the execution time of these functions (e.g., through repeated calls with carefully crafted inputs) could potentially recover secret information used in the Verifiable Secret Sharing (VSS) scheme. The `_find_secure_pivot` function, used during Gaussian elimination in `_secure_matrix_solve`, attempts to find a non-zero pivot element. However, the conditional statement `if matrix[row][col] != 0 and row_random < min_value:` has execution time that depends on the value of `matrix[row][col]`. This timing difference can be exploited by an attacker. The `constant_time_compare` function in this file also does not provide a constant-time guarantee. The Python implementation of matrix operations in the _find_secure_pivot and _secure_matrix_solve functions cannot guarantee constant-time execution, potentially leaking information about secret polynomial coefficients. An attacker with the ability to make precise timing measurements of these operations could potentially extract secret information through statistical analysis of execution times, though practical exploitation would require significant expertise and controlled execution environments. Successful exploitation of these timing side-channels could allow an attacker to recover secret keys or other sensitive information protected by the VSS scheme. This could lead to a complete compromise of the shared secret. As of time of publication, no patched versions of Post-Quantum Secure Feldman's Verifiable Secret Sharing exist, but other mitigations are available. As acknowledged in the library's documentation, these vulnerabilities cannot be adequately addressed in pure Python. In the short term, consider using this library only in environments where timing measurements by attackers are infeasible. In the medium term, implement your own wrappers around critical operations using constant-time libraries in languages like Rust, Go, or C. In the long term, wait for the planned Rust implementation mentioned in the library documentation that will properly address these issues. |
| Certain Cypress (and Broadcom) Wireless Combo chips, when a January 2021 firmware update is not present, allow memory access via a "Spectra" attack. |
| Certain Cypress (and Broadcom) Wireless Combo chips, when a January 2021 firmware update is not present, allow inferences about memory content via a "Spectra" attack. |
| Observable discrepancy in RAPL interface for some Intel(R) Processors may allow a privileged user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. |
| An issue in Sourcebans++ before v.1.8.0 allows a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information via a crafted XAJAX call to the Forgot Password function. |
