Description

Libgcrypt before 1.8.8 and 1.9.x before 1.9.3 mishandles ElGamal encryption because it lacks exponent blinding to address a side-channel attack against mpi_powm, and the window size is not chosen appropriately. This, for example, affects use of ElGamal in OpenPGP.

Affected configurations

• gnupg libgcrypt (< 1.8.8) • gnupg libgcrypt (>= 1.9.0 < 1.9.3) • debian debian linux 9.0 • fedoraproject fedora 33 • fedoraproject fedora 34 • oracle communications cloud native core binding support function 1.11.0 • oracle communications cloud native core network function cloud native environment 1.9.0 • oracle communications cloud native core network function cloud native environment 1.10.0 • oracle communications cloud native core network repository function 1.14.0 • oracle communications cloud native core network repository function 1.15.0 • oracle communications cloud native core network repository function 1.15.1 • oracle communications cloud native core network slice selection function 1.8.0 • oracle communications cloud native core service communication proxy 1.15.0
