medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 405165

Description

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

- Libgcrypt before 1.7.10 and 1.8.x before 1.8.3 allows a memory-cache side-channel attack on ECDSA
signatures that can be mitigated through the use of blinding during the signing process in the
_gcry_ecc_ecdsa_sign function in cipher/ecc-ecdsa.c, aka the Return Of the Hidden Number Problem or ROHNP.
To discover an ECDSA key, the attacker needs access to either the local machine or a different virtual
machine on the same physical host. (CVE-2018-0495)
