Crypto++ Information for VU#997481

Date Notified02/25/2003
Date Modified08/25/2004 01:59:36 PM
Status SummaryVulnerable

Vendor Statement

All factoring-based public key cryptosystems (RSA, Rabin, LUC) implemented in Crypto++ version 5.0 and earlier may be vulnerable to timing attacks similar to the attacks described in the paper by Brumley and Boneh. Crypto++ users who use these cryptosystems in ways that allow observation of decryption times should upgrade to version 5.1 or later. Crypto++ version 5.1 includes additional countermeasures to timing attacks, including blinding for RSA and Rabin decryption. The latest version of Crypto++ may be downloaded from http://www.cryptopp.com.
