Security Bulletin: IBM Tivoli Key Lifecycle Manager can be affected by a vulnerability in the IBM Java Runtime Environment (CVE-2013-0169)

News


Abstract

CVE-2013-0169 - The Transport Layer Security protocol does not properly consider timing side-channel attacks, which allows remote attackers to conduct distinguishing attacks and plain-text recovery attacks via statistical analysis of timing data for crafted packets, aka the "Lucky Thirteen" issue.

VULNERABILITY DETAILS:

DESCRIPTION:

CVE-2013-0169
A weakness in the handling of cipher-block chaining (CBC) ciphersuites in Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) could lead to plaintext recovery of sensitive information by exploiting timing differences arising during message authentication codes (MAC) processing. The CVSS score is based on IBM X-Force rankings, which sets the access complexity for this vulnerability as Medium.

The attack does not require local network access nor does it require authentication, but some degree of specialized knowledge and techniques are required. An exploit may have a limited impact on the confidentiality of information but neither the integrity of data nor the availability of the system would be compromised.
