CVE-2013-1620

Mozilla Network Security Services - Timing Side-Channel Attack via CBC Padding

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

The TLS implementation in Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) does not properly consider timing side-channel attacks on a noncompliant MAC check operation during the processing of malformed CBC padding, which allows remote attackers to conduct distinguishing attacks and plaintext-recovery attacks via statistical analysis of timing data for crafted packets, a related issue to CVE-2013-0169.
