HighCVSS 7.5 · v3.1—Proof of concept Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Plan (action score 58/100)

  • Public proof-of-concept code exists (GitHub); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 94.6% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 99.8% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
  • Fixed version: openssl (Alpine:v3.2) 1.0.2i-r0; java-1_8_0-openjdk (openSUSE:Tumbleweed) 1.8.0.302-2.2; openssl (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:6::client) 0:1.0.1e-48.el6_8.3.
  • Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).

Add it to your regular patch cycle. Upgrade to openssl (Alpine:v3.2) 1.0.2i-r0; java-1_8_0-openjdk (openSUSE:Tumbleweed) 1.8.0.302-2.2; openssl (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:6::client) 0:1.0.1e-48.el6_8.3 or later.

Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

The DES and Triple DES ciphers, as used in the TLS, SSH, and IPSec protocols and other protocols and products, have a birthday bound of approximately four billion blocks, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain cleartext data via a birthday attack against a long-duration encrypted session, as demonstrated by an HTTPS session using Triple DES in CBC mode, aka a "Sweet32" attack.
