medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 424260
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- During RSA key generation, bignum implementations used a variation of the Binary Extended Euclidean
Algorithm which entailed significantly input-dependent flow. This allowed an attacker able to perform
electromagnetic-based side channel attacks to record traces leading to the recovery of the secret primes.
*Note:* An unmodified Firefox browser does not generate RSA keys in normal operation and is not affected,
but products built on top of it might. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 78. (CVE-2020-12402)
