CVSS v3.1 |
| OpenSSH-portable (OpenSSH) 3.6.1p1 and earlier with PAM support enabled immediately sends an error message when a user does not exist, which allows remote attackers to determine valid usernames via a timing attack. |
| PGP Security PGPfire 7.1 for Windows alters the system's TCP/IP stack and modifies packets in ICMP error messages in a way that allows remote attackers to determine that the system is running PGPfire. |
| The NPSVG3.dll ActiveX control for Adobe SVG Viewer 3.02 and earlier, when running on Internet Explorer, allows remote attackers to determine the existence of arbitrary files by setting the src property to the target filename and using Javascript to determine if the web page immediately stops loading, which indicates whether the file exists or not. |
| CVS 1.11.x before 1.11.17, and 1.12.x before 1.12.9, allows remote attackers to determine the existence of arbitrary files and directories via the -X command for an alternate history file, which causes different error messages to be returned. |
| One-Time Passwords In Everything (a.k.a OPIE) 2.32 and 2.4 allows remote attackers to determine the existence of user accounts by printing random passphrases if the user account does not exist and static passphrases if the user account does exist. |
| AmTote International homebet program returns different error messages when invalid account numbers and PIN codes are provided, which allows remote attackers to determine the existence of valid account numbers via a brute force attack. |
| iptables-save in iptables before 1.2.4 records the "--reject-with icmp-host-prohibited" rule as "--reject-with tcp-reset," which causes iptables to generate different responses than specified by the administrator, possibly leading to an information leak. |
| ProFTPD 1.2.x, including 1.2.8 and 1.2.10, responds in a different amount of time when a given username exists, which allows remote attackers to identify valid usernames by timing the server response. |
| ssl3_get_record in s3_pkt.c for OpenSSL before 0.9.7a and 0.9.6 before 0.9.6i does not perform a MAC computation if an incorrect block cipher padding is used, which causes an information leak (timing discrepancy) that may make it easier to launch cryptographic attacks that rely on distinguishing between padding and MAC verification errors, possibly leading to extraction of the original plaintext, aka the "Vaudenay timing attack." |
| PF in OpenBSD 3.0 with the return-rst rule sets the TTL to 128 in the RST packet, which allows remote attackers to determine if a port is being filtered because the TTL is different than the default TTL. |
| IPFilter 3.4.25 and earlier sets a different TTL when a port is being filtered than when it is not being filtered, which allows remote attackers to identify filtered ports by comparing TTLs. |
| ArGoSoft FTP before 1.4.2.1 generates an error message if the user name does not exist instead of prompting for a password, which allows remote attackers to determine valid usernames. |
| Nettica Corporation INTELLIPEER Email Server 1.01 displays different error messages for valid and invalid account names, which allows remote attackers to determine valid account names. |
| The firewall in Astaro Security Linux before 4.024 sends responses to SYN-FIN packets, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain information about the system and construct specialized attacks. |
| Novell iChain 2.2 before Support Pack 1 uses a shorter timeout for a non-existent user than a valid user, which makes it easier for remote attackers to guess usernames and conduct brute force password guessing. |
| Joe Testa hellbent 01 allows remote attackers to determine the full path of the web root directory via a GET request with a relative path that includes the root's parent, which generates a 403 error message if the parent is incorrect, but a normal response if the parent is correct. |
| i2p before 2.3.0 (Java) allows de-anonymizing the public IPv4 and IPv6 addresses of i2p hidden services (aka eepsites) via a correlation attack across the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses that occurs when a tunneled, replayed message has a behavior discrepancy (it may be dropped, or may result in a Wrong Destination response). An attack would take days to complete. |
| The public-facing product registration endpoint server responds
differently depending on whether the S/N is valid and unregistered,
valid but already registered, or does not exist in the database.
Combined with the fact that serial numbers are sequentially assigned,
this allows an attacker to gain information on the product registration
status of different S/Ns. |
| Post-Quantum Secure Feldman's Verifiable Secret Sharing provides a Python implementation of Feldman's Verifiable Secret Sharing (VSS) scheme. In versions 0.8.0b2 and prior, the `feldman_vss` library contains timing side-channel vulnerabilities in its matrix operations, specifically within the `_find_secure_pivot` function and potentially other parts of `_secure_matrix_solve`. These vulnerabilities are due to Python's execution model, which does not guarantee constant-time execution. An attacker with the ability to measure the execution time of these functions (e.g., through repeated calls with carefully crafted inputs) could potentially recover secret information used in the Verifiable Secret Sharing (VSS) scheme. The `_find_secure_pivot` function, used during Gaussian elimination in `_secure_matrix_solve`, attempts to find a non-zero pivot element. However, the conditional statement `if matrix[row][col] != 0 and row_random < min_value:` has execution time that depends on the value of `matrix[row][col]`. This timing difference can be exploited by an attacker. The `constant_time_compare` function in this file also does not provide a constant-time guarantee. The Python implementation of matrix operations in the _find_secure_pivot and _secure_matrix_solve functions cannot guarantee constant-time execution, potentially leaking information about secret polynomial coefficients. An attacker with the ability to make precise timing measurements of these operations could potentially extract secret information through statistical analysis of execution times, though practical exploitation would require significant expertise and controlled execution environments. Successful exploitation of these timing side-channels could allow an attacker to recover secret keys or other sensitive information protected by the VSS scheme. This could lead to a complete compromise of the shared secret. As of time of publication, no patched versions of Post-Quantum Secure Feldman's Verifiable Secret Sharing exist, but other mitigations are available. As acknowledged in the library's documentation, these vulnerabilities cannot be adequately addressed in pure Python. In the short term, consider using this library only in environments where timing measurements by attackers are infeasible. In the medium term, implement your own wrappers around critical operations using constant-time libraries in languages like Rust, Go, or C. In the long term, wait for the planned Rust implementation mentioned in the library documentation that will properly address these issues. |
