CVE-2024-0202

MEDIUM
5.9
CVSS v3
NVD

Description

A security vulnerability has been identified in the cryptlib cryptographic library when cryptlib is compiled with the support for RSA key exchange ciphersuites in TLS (by setting the USE_RSA_SUITES define), it will be vulnerable to the timing variant of the Bleichenbacher attack. An attacker that is able to perform a large number of connections to the server will be able to decrypt RSA ciphertexts or forge signatures using server's certificate. THIS CVE ID IS CURRENTLY DISPUTED - MAINTAINER NOTE: There are only two situations where it's enabled, one is for fuzz-testing to exercise code paths that wouldn't otherwise be available, the other is for static source code analysis with tools like Coverity and Prefast, again to open up code paths that otherwise wouldn't be available. It can also be enabled manually in two specific test builds just to make sure the code still compiles OK, to avoid bit rot and verify that the fuzz-testing build will compile without errors.

Common questions

How do I fix CVE-2024-0202?

Upgrade cryptlib to 3.4.7 or later.

Is CVE-2024-0202 being actively exploited?

Not that we know of. CVE-2024-0202 is not in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. Its EPSS score of 0.31% is the estimated probability that it will be exploited in the next 30 days. That is higher than 24% of all scored CVEs.

How severe is CVE-2024-0202?

CVE-2024-0202 has a CVSS v3 base score of 5.9, rated medium. CVSS rates the technical impact if the vulnerability is exploited, not how likely that is, so weigh it alongside the exploit-prediction score when you decide what to patch first.

What does CVE-2024-0202 affect?

Published advisories record a fix for cryptlib (NVD). Only products with a sourced advisory are listed, so treat this as what we can cite rather than a complete inventory.
