TITLE

plural EMC RSA BSAFE Of the private key in the product prime Vulnerability to be acquired

DESCRIPTION

EMC RSA BSAFE Micro Edition Suite (MES) 4.0.x and 4.1.x before 4.1.5, RSA BSAFE Crypto-C Micro Edition (CCME) 4.0.x and 4.1.x before 4.1.3, RSA BSAFE Crypto-J before 6.2.1, RSA BSAFE SSL-J before 6.2.1, and RSA BSAFE SSL-C before 2.8.9 allow remote attackers to discover a private-key prime by conducting a Lenstra side-channel attack that leverages an application's failure to detect an RSA signature failure during a TLS session. Multiple RSA BSAFE Products are prone to an information-disclosure vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this issue to perform man-in-the-middle attacks and obtain sensitive information. Successful exploits will lead to other attacks. are all products of American EMC Corporation. EMC RSA BSAFE is a security software product that supports encryption algorithms, certificate chain verification, and Transport Layer Security (TLS) cipher suites to help users achieve various security goals for their applications. EMC RSA BSAFE MES is one of the encryption toolkits. RSA BSAFE SSL-J is one of the SSL toolkits. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to disclose the private key by establishing a TLS connection with the server. For TLS/SSL capable toolkits an attack is carried out by attempting to establish a TLS connection to a server that implements the ServerKeyExchange message during the handshake process, negotiate Perfect Forward Secrecy and look for the ServerKeyExchange message to report a failure due to an incorrectly computed signature. The following workaround is available for CVE-2016-0887. It is recommended that applications verify all RSA signature creation. This includes when creating a signature with the sign APIs as well as signing certificates, CRLs, OCSP responses and CMS messages. When using TLS in a server with an RSA certificate, the following option is available: Change the server PKI to a DSA cert and use TLS_DHE_DSS_* cipher suites. NOTE: Servers using TLS_RSA_* cipher suites perform RSA decrypt operation and are not vulnerable but do not have Perfect Forward Secrecy.
