CVE-2015-0837 (Low severity, published 2015-02-26)
CVSS score: 1.2 (AV:L/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N)
Description: The mpi_powm function in Libgcrypt before 1.6.3 and GnuPG before 1.4.19 allows attackers to obtain sensitive information by leveraging timing differences when accessing a pre-computed table during modular exponentiation, related to a "Last-Level Cache Side-Channel Attack."
Statement: Red Hat Product Security has rated this issue as having low security impact, a future update may address this flaw in the libgcrypt and gnupg2 packages.

The attack leading to this flaw, is difficult to conduct in practice especially for cross-vm environments, mainly because the attacker needs to run their timing attack script at the exact same time decryption runs on the victim machine. Also this is essentially a chosen ciphertext attack because the attacker provides the ciphertext which the victim needs to be decrypt. Such actions only work when there is sufficient social engineer involved.
