CVE-2021-33560 HIGH

Published: 2021-06-08 | Last Modified: 2025-12-03 | Status: Modified

Description

Libgcrypt before 1.8.8 and 1.9.x before 1.9.3 mishandles ElGamal encryption because it lacks exponent blinding to address a side-channel attack against mpi_powm, and the window size is not chosen appropriately. This, for example, affects use of ElGamal in OpenPGP.

Additional Descriptions (1)

Libgcrypt versiones anteriores a 1.8.8 y versiones 1.9.x anteriores a 1.9.3, maneja inapropiadamente el cifrado de ElGamal porque carece de cegado de exponentes para hacer frente a un ataque de canal lateral contra la función mpi_powm, y el tamaño de la ventana no se elige apropiadamente. Esto, por ejemplo, afecta el uso de ElGamal en OpenPGP.
