openSUSE Security Update : libgcrypt (openSUSE-2015-597)

low Nessus Plugin ID 86090

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

libgcrypt was updated to include countermeasures against Lenstra's fault attack on RSA Chinese Remainder Theorem optimization in RSA.

A signature verification step was updated to protect against leaks of private keys in case of hardware faults or implementation errors in numeric libraries.

GnuPG already performed this check by itself and was not affected.
This fix is equivalent, but not equal to CVE-2015-5738

Solution

Update the affected libgcrypt packages.
