medium Nessus Plugin ID 77365

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

libgcrypt was updated to 1.5.4 to prevent a side-channel attack on Elgamal encryption subkeys.

Besides that the following issues were resolved :

	 - Improved performance of RSA, DSA, and Elgamal by using a new exponentiation algorithm.

- Fixed a subtle bug in mpi_set_bit which could set spurious bits.

- Fixed a bug in an internal division function.

Solution

Update the affected libgcrypt packages.
