CVE-2003-0131

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The SSL and TLS components for OpenSSL 0.9.6i and earlier, 0.9.7, and 0.9.7a are vulnerable to an attack that allows remote attackers to perform unauthorized RSA private key operations. This attack uses a modified Bleichenbacher method that involves establishing a large number of SSL or TLS connections.

Risk Assessment

Attackers may gain access to information regarding the relationship between ciphertext and the associated plaintext, potentially leading to the compromise of private keys and sensitive data.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update OpenSSL to the latest version to mitigate the risk associated with this vulnerability and to monitor SSL/TLS connections for potential attacks.

Original NVD description (English source)

The SSL and TLS components for OpenSSL 0.9.6i and earlier, 0.9.7, and 0.9.7a allow remote attackers to perform an unauthorized RSA private key operation via a modified Bleichenbacher attack that uses a large number of SSL or TLS connections using PKCS #1 v1.5 padding that cause OpenSSL to leak information regarding the relationship between ciphertext and the associated plaintext, aka the "Klima-Pokorny-Rosa attack."
