CVSS 3.1 Score 5.5 of 10 (medium)
Details
Summary
CVE-2024-2236 is a newly discovered vulnerability affecting libgcrypt's RSA implementation. This timing-based side-channel flaw can enable a remote attacker to execute Bleichenbacher-style attacks, potentially decrypting RSA ciphertexts despite having no access to the decryption key. The flaw arises due to inconsistent execution times during certain RSA operations, making it possible for an adversary to extract sensitive information. The impact of this vulnerability is significant as it can compromise the confidentiality of data encrypted with RSA algorithms. It is recommended that affected systems be updated with the latest patches to mitigate the risk of exploitation.
