CVE-2022-4304

EIP tracks 1 public exploit for CVE-2022-4304. PoCs published by Trinadh465.

AI-analyzed exploit summary The repository appears to be a partial or incomplete OpenSSL source tree with configuration files and some application code, but lacks a clear exploit PoC or offensive technique. No exploit code or malicious payloads are present.

A timing based side channel exists in the OpenSSL RSA Decryption implementation which could be sufficient to recover a plaintext across a network in a Bleichenbacher style attack. To achieve a successful decryption an attacker would have to be able to send a very large number of trial messages for decryption. The vulnerability affects all RSA padding modes: PKCS#1 v1.5, RSA-OEAP and RSASVE. For example, in a TLS connection, RSA is commonly used by a client to send an encrypted pre-master secret to the server. An attacker that had observed a genuine connection between a client and a server could use this flaw to send trial messages to the server and record the time taken to process them. After a sufficiently large number of messages the attacker could recover the pre-master secret used for the original connection and thus be able to decrypt the application data sent over that connection.
