Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201812-5
=========================================
Severity: Low
Date : 2018-12-08
CVE-ID : CVE-2018-0734 CVE-2018-0735
Package : openssl
Type : private key recovery
Remote : Yes
Link : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-792
Summary
=======
The package openssl before version 1.1.1.a-1 is vulnerable to private
key recovery.
Resolution
==========
Upgrade to 1.1.1.a-1.
# pacman -Syu "openssl>=1.1.1.a-1"
The problems have been fixed upstream in version 1.1.1.a.
Workaround
==========
None.
Description
===========
- CVE-2018-0734 (private key recovery)
A timing vulnerability has been found in DSA signature generation in
openssl versions up to and including 1.1.1, where information is leaked
via a side channel when a BN is resized and could lead to private key
recovery.
- CVE-2018-0735 (private key recovery)
The OpenSSL ECDSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable
to a timing side channel attack in openssl versions prior to 1.1.1a. An
attacker could use variations in the signing algorithm to recover the
private key.
Impact
======
A remote attacker might be able to recover a private ECDSA or DSA key
via a timing attack.
