CWE-327

Description

The NIST SP 800-90A default statement of the Dual Elliptic Curve Deterministic Random Bit Generation (Dual_EC_DRBG) algorithm contains point Q constants with a possible relationship to certain "skeleton key" values, which might allow context-dependent attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms by leveraging knowledge of those values. NOTE: this is a preliminary CVE for Dual_EC_DRBG; future research may provide additional details about point Q and associated attacks, and could potentially lead to a RECAST or REJECT of this CVE.

Affected configurations

• dell bsafe crypto-c-micro-edition (>= 3.0.0.0 <= 3.0.0.20) • dell bsafe crypto-j 5.0 • dell bsafe crypto-j 5.0.1
