Zend Framework before 2.4.9, zend-framework/zend-crypt 2.4.x before 2.4.9, and 2.5.x before 2.5.2 allows remote attackers to recover the RSA private key.

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - Zend Framework before 2.4.9, zend-framework/zend-crypt 2.4.x before 2.4.9, and 2.5.x before 2.5.2 allows
    remote attackers to recover the RSA private key. (CVE-2015-7503)

## 2.4.10 (2016-05-09)

  - Fix HeaderValue throwing an exception on legal     characters

## 2.4.9 (2015-11-23)

### SECURITY UPDATES

  - **ZF2015-09**: `Zend\Captcha\Word` generates a 'word'     for a CAPTCHA challenge by selecting a sequence of     random letters from a character set. Prior to this     vulnerability announcement, the selection was performed     using PHP's internal `array_rand()` function. This     function does not generate sufficient entropy due to its     usage of `rand()` instead of more cryptographically     secure methods such as `openssl_pseudo_random_bytes()`.
    This could potentially lead to information disclosure     should an attacker be able to brute force the random     number generation. This release contains a patch that     replaces the `array_rand()` calls to use     `Zend\Math\Rand::getInteger()`, which provides better     RNG.

  - **ZF2015-10**: `Zend\Crypt\PublicKey\Rsa\PublicKey` has     a call to `openssl_public_encrypt()` which used PHP's     default `$padding` argument, which specifies     `OPENSSL_PKCS1_PADDING`, indicating usage of PKCS1v1.5     padding. This padding has a known vulnerability, the     [Bleichenbacher's chosen-ciphertext     attack](http://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/12688/     can-you-explain-bleichenbachers-cca-attack-on-pkcs1-v1-5     ), which can be used to recover an RSA private key. This     release contains a patch that changes the padding     argument to use `OPENSSL_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING`.

    Users upgrading to this version may have issues     decrypting previously stored values, due to the change     in padding. If this occurs, you can pass the constant     `OPENSSL_PKCS1_PADDING` to a new `$padding` argument in     `Zend\Crypt\PublicKey\Rsa::encrypt()` and `decrypt()`     (though typically this should only apply to the latter) :

    ```php $decrypted = $rsa->decrypt($data, $key, $mode,     OPENSSL_PKCS1_PADDING); ```

    where `$rsa` is an instance of     `Zend\Crypt\PublicKey\Rsa`.

    (The `$key` and `$mode` argument defaults are `null` and     `Zend\Crypt\PublicKey\Rsa::MODE_AUTO`, if you were not     using them previously.)

    We recommend re-encrypting any such values using the new     defaults.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora update system website.
Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Versions of Zend Framework earlier than 2.4.9 are exposed to a flaw in 'zend-crypt' that is triggered when 'Zend\Crypt\PublicKey\Rsa\PublicKey' contains a call to 'openssl_public_encrypt()' that ultimately uses PKCS1v1.5 padding.  This padding has a known vulnerability, known as Bleichenbacher's chosen-ciphertext attack, which can be used to recover an RSA private key.  This may potentially allow a remote attacker to decrypt ciphertext.
