GHSA-f2v5-c455-qhg2 PUBLISHED CVSS 6.800000190734863 MEDIUM

Record from GitHub Advisory Database · Published May 13, 2022

libgcrypt before version 1.7.8 is vulnerable to a cache side-channel attack resulting into a complete break of RSA-1024 while using the left-to-right method for computing the sliding-window expansion. The same attack is believed to work on RSA-2048 with moderately more computation. This side-channel requires that attacker can run arbitrary software on the hardware where the private RSA key is used.
