Description

PyCrypto before 2.6 does not produce appropriate prime numbers when using an ElGamal scheme to generate a key, which reduces the signature space or public key space and makes it easier for attackers to conduct brute force attacks to obtain the private key.

Affected configurations

• dlitz pycrypto (<= 2.5) • dlitz pycrypto 1.0.0 • dlitz pycrypto 1.0.1 • dlitz pycrypto 1.0.2 • dlitz pycrypto 1.1 • dlitz pycrypto 1.9 • dlitz pycrypto 2.0 • dlitz pycrypto 2.0.1 • dlitz pycrypto 2.1.0 • dlitz pycrypto 2.2 • dlitz pycrypto 2.3 • dlitz pycrypto 2.4 • dlitz pycrypto 2.4.1
