BouncyCastle vulnerable to a timing variant of Bleichenbacher (Marvin Attack)
CVE: CVE-2024-30171
Component: bc-java
CWE: CWE-208
Severity: Moderate
CVSS v3: 5.8/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
Release date: 2024-04-18T00:00:00+00:00

A flaw was found in the Bouncy Castle Java cryptography APIs. Affected versions of the org.bouncycastle:bcprov-jdk18on package are vulnerable to Observable Timing Discrepancy via the PKCS#1 1.5 and OAEP decryption process (a.k.a. Marvin Attack). An attacker can recover cipher-texts via a side-channel attack by exploiting the Marvin security flaw. The PKCS#1 1.5 attack vector leaks data via javax.crypto.Cipher exceptions and the OAEP interface vector leaks via the bit size of the decrypted data.
