CVE detail

CVE-2017-7526

libgcrypt before version 1.7.8 is vulnerable to a cache side-channel attack resulting into a complete break of RSA-1024 while using the left-to-right method for computing the sliding-window expansion. The same attack is believed to work on RSA-2048 with moderately more computation. This side-channel requires that attacker can run arbitrary software on the hardware where the private RSA key is used.

  • Security researchers Crack 1024-bit RSA Encryption in GnuPG Crypto LibrarySecurity Affairs

    Experts have devised a side-channel attack on RSA secret keys that allowed to crack 1024-bit RSA Encryption in GnuPG Crypto Library. Security researchers have found a critical vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2017-7526, in a Gnu Privacy Guard (aka (GnuPG or GPG) cryptographic library that allowed them cracking RSA-1024 and extract the RSA key to decrypt data. The research team was composed […]
