Low severity, CVSS 2.6. EPSS: 35.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The TLS protocol 1.1 and 1.2 and the DTLS protocol 1.0 and 1.2, as used in OpenSSL, OpenJDK, PolarSSL, and other products, do not properly consider timing side-channel attacks on a MAC check requirement during the processing of malformed CBC padding, which allows remote attackers to conduct distinguishing attacks and plaintext-recovery attacks via statistical analysis of timing data for crafted packets, aka the "Lucky Thirteen" issue.

Affected products

  • OpenSSL OpenSSL: from 0.9.8, up to and including 0.9.8x; from 1.0.0, up to and including 1.0.0j; from 1.0.1, up to and including 1.0.1d
