Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical was found in Erlang otp TLS Server 1.5. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown code block of the component RSA PKCS Padding. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a cryptographic issue vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-310. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

The Erlang otp TLS server answers with different TLS alerts to different error types in the RSA PKCS #1 1.5 padding. This allows an attacker to decrypt content or sign messages with the server's private key (this is a variation of the Bleichenbacher attack).

The bug was discovered 12/12/2017. The weakness was released 12/12/2017 by Juraj Somorovsky with Tripwire VERT (Website). The advisory is shared at erlang.org. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2017-1000385 since 11/29/2017. The exploitation appears to be difficult. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploitation doesn't need any form of authentication. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available. MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1600 for this issue.

The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 105241 (openSUSE Security Update : erlang (openSUSE-2017-1358) (ROBOT)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family SuSE Local Security Checks and running in the context l. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 170602 (OpenSUSE Security Update for erlang (openSUSE-SU-2017:3257-1)).

Upgrading eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published before and not just after the disclosure of the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at Tenable (105241) and SecurityFocus (BID 102197†). Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
