CVE-2024-2467 (2024-04-25)

A timing-based side-channel flaw exists in the perl-Crypt-OpenSSL-RSA package, which could be sufficient to recover plaintext across a network in a Bleichenbacher-style attack. To achieve successful decryption, an attacker would have to be able to send a large number of trial messages. The vulnerability affects the legacy PKCS#1v1.5 RSA encryption padding mode.

Changes for version 0.23

  • Provide 32 bytes of seeding in tests, up from 19.
  • Stop relying on implicit includes, which disappeared in the 0.98 release of OpenSSL.
  • Apply patch from Jim Radford <radford@blackbean.org> to add support for SHA{224,256,384,512}
