CVE-2015-5738

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The RSA-CRT implementation in the Cavium Software Development Kit (SDK) 2.x on OCTEON II CN6xxx hardware on Linux, supporting TLS with Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS), is vulnerable to a Lenstra side-channel attack, making it easier for remote attackers to obtain private RSA keys.

Risk Assessment

The risk involves the potential compromise of private RSA keys, which could lead to the exposure of sensitive data and the breach of secure communications.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the software development kit to the latest version and implement additional security measures to mitigate the risk of side-channel attacks.
