Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-14 02:12 – Updated: 2022-05-14 02:12An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. iOS before 10.2 is affected. macOS before 10.12.2 is affected. watchOS before 3.1.3 is affected. The issue involves the "Security" component, which makes it easier for attackers to bypass cryptographic protection mechanisms by leveraging use of the 3DES cipher.

GHSA-WR6F-49RM-HX88
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-24 16:49 – Updated: 2022-05-24 16:49In the Linux kernel before 5.1.7, a device can be tracked by an attacker using the IP ID values the kernel produces for connection-less protocols (e.g., UDP and ICMP). When such traffic is sent to multiple destination IP addresses, it is possible to obtain hash collisions (of indices to the counter array) and thereby obtain the hashing key (via enumeration). An attack may be conducted by hosting a crafted web page that uses WebRTC or gQUIC to force UDP traffic to attacker-controlled IP addresses.

GHSA-WVCV-832Q-FJG7
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2020-12-21 16:56 – Updated: 2024-11-13 23:01Impact
The code that performs decryption and padding check in RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 decryption is data dependant. In particular, code in current (as of 0.8.0-alpha38) master https://github.com/tlsfuzzer/tlslite-ng/blob/0812ed60860fa61a6573b2c0e18771414958f46d/tlslite/utils/rsakey.py#L407-L441 and code in 0.7.5 branch https://github.com/tlsfuzzer/tlslite-ng/blob/acdde3161124d6ae37c506b3476aea9996d12e97/tlslite/utils/rsakey.py#L394-L425 has multiple ways in which it leaks information (for one, it aborts as soon as the plaintext doesn't start with 0x00, 0x02) about the decrypted ciphertext (both the bit length of the decrypted message as well as where the first unexpected byte lays).
All TLS servers that enable RSA key exchange as well as applications that use the RSA decryption API directly are vulnerable.
All previous versions of tlslite-ng are vulnerable.
Patches
The patches to fix it are proposed in https://github.com/tlsfuzzer/tlslite-ng/pull/438 https://github.com/tlsfuzzer/tlslite-ng/pull/439
Note: the patches depend on Python processing the individual bytes in side-channel free manner, this is known to not be the case: https://securitypitfalls.wordpress.com/2018/08/03/constant-time-compare-in-python/ As such, users that require side-channel resistance are recommended to use different TLS implementations, as stated in the security policy of tlslite-ng.
Workarounds
There is no way to workaround this issue.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-06-03 21:30 – Updated: 2026-06-04 15:30Version 3.0.7 of the Securly Chrome Extension exposes multiple publicly accessible endpoints that allow unauthenticated access to sensitive data. The exposed information consists of SHA-1 hashes that are inadequately obfuscated using a simple Caesar cipher, which can be easily reversed to recover the original hash values and access the protected data.

Mitigation
Use an encryption scheme that is currently considered to be strong by experts in the field.
CAPEC-112: Brute Force
In this attack, some asset (information, functionality, identity, etc.) is protected by a finite secret value. The attacker attempts to gain access to this asset by using trial-and-error to exhaustively explore all the possible secret values in the hope of finding the secret (or a value that is functionally equivalent) that will unlock the asset.
CAPEC-192: Protocol Analysis
An adversary engages in activities to decipher and/or decode protocol information for a network or application communication protocol used for transmitting information between interconnected nodes or systems on a packet-switched data network. While this type of analysis involves the analysis of a networking protocol inherently, it does not require the presence of an actual or physical network.
CAPEC-20: Encryption Brute Forcing
An attacker, armed with the cipher text and the encryption algorithm used, performs an exhaustive (brute force) search on the key space to determine the key that decrypts the cipher text to obtain the plaintext.
