Vendor Statement

Cisco Response Cisco is aware of the industry discussion regarding the Dual Elliptic Curve Deterministic Random Bit Generator (Dual_EC_DRBG) and the recent decision of the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to reopen the 800-90A Special Publication (SP) to public review. Cisco applauds the decision for increased public review of cryptographic standards and will monitor for any updates to NIST SP 800-90A. Cisco has completed an internal investigation and has confirmed that the Dual_EC_DRBG is not in use in any Cisco products. Additional Information Cisco licenses third-party components that include the Dual_EC_DRBG; however, this Deterministic Random Bit Generator (DRBG) is not in use in any Cisco products. Cisco products that use DRBGs for encryption are compliant with either the older ANSI X9.31 standard or the newer NIST SP 800-90A standard. The 800-90A-compliant crypto libraries in Cisco products have four DRBG options available to Cisco developers, but the standard Cisco implementation is Advanced Encryption Standard Counter mode (AES-CTR), not Dual_EC_DRBG. Additionally, there are no configuration modifications that could enable Dual_EC_DRBG. Cisco provides strong encryption options that comply with international standards and local regulations. We are always watching for stronger encryption options, and if we find such an option, it will be implemented for the benefit of our customers.

Juniper Networks, Inc. Not Affected

Notified:  October 03, 2013 Updated: November 07, 2013

Status

Not Affected

Vendor Statement

"Due to recent statements (top of page #2) by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) concerning the security of the Dual_EC_DRBG cryptographic algorithm, Juniper Networks would like to make the following statements: The following product families do not utilize Dual_EC_DRBG: Junos - Any product running Junos Junos Pulse Secure Access Service (SSL-VPN / IVE OS) Junos Pulse Access Control Service (UAC) Junos Pulse Junos Space JunosE CTP/CTPView The following product families do utilize Dual_EC_DRBG, but do not use the pre-defined points cited by NIST: ScreenOS* * ScreenOS does make use of the Dual_EC_DRBG standard, but is designed to not use Dual_EC_DRBG as its primary random number generator. ScreenOS uses it in a way that should not be vulnerable to the possible issue that has been brought to light. Instead of using the NIST recommended curve points it uses self-generated basis points and then takes the output as an input to FIPS/ANSI X.9.31 PRNG, which is the random number generator used in ScreenOS cryptographic operations."

Not Affected

Vendor Statement

Lancope's products do not enable Dual_EC_DRBG by default. For those customers who have taken the extra step of enabling Dual_EC_DRBG, Lancope has provided guidance to our user community regarding how to enable alternatives. If you are a Lancope customer in need of guidance information, please contact technical support.

McAfee Affected

Notified:  October 03, 2013 Updated: March 25, 2014

Status

Affected

Vendor Statement

"On September 17, 2013 an Edward Snowden leak indicated that the NSA may have a skeleton key to decrypt messages using the Dual Elliptic Curve (EC) Deterministic Random Bit Generation (DRBG) algorithm in RSA’s BSafe library. This was followed by NIST reopening SP800-90 due to some concerns the community has regarding the security of the DUAL_EC_DRBG algorithm. The RSA BSafe crypto libraries are widely used for C, C++, and Java based programs used by many vendors, including McAfee. The libraries are also certified as FIPS 140-2 thus providing an avenue to certifying products as directed by NIST. Impact: Currently, McAfee has three (3) products that use Dual EC DBRG, and thus, are vulnerable. Vulnerability Manager for Databases (DVM) / Database Activity Monitoring (DAM) Network Security Management (NSM) appliances McAfee Firewall Enterprise Control Center (MFE CC) NOTE: MFE CC uses the CryptoJ BSAFE and Dual EC DRBG in FIPS mode only. Customers who do not run in FIPS mode never use Dual EC DRBG. The use of Dual EC DRBG was removed in 5.3.2 This issue is resolved in each of the vulnerable products per the release schedule in the Remediation section of this article."

Mocana Not Affected

Notified:  October 10, 2013 Updated: November 07, 2013

Status

Not Affected

Vendor Statement

The Dual_EC_DRBG algorithm was one of three random number generators made available to developers as options in DSF, NanoCrypto, and related products. All DSF components, including NanoCrypto, default to using FIPS 186 pseudorandom number generation, NOT Dual_EC_DRBG. The flawed Dual_EC_DRBG algorithm is available as an option in our DSF SDKs, and your developers may have “turned it on” at build time, overriding the Mocana default selection of FIPS 186; or they may have explicitly called the ECDRBG engine. If neither of these two steps were taken, then the random number generation algorithm used is not the compromised Dual_EC_DRBG.

OpenSSL Not Affected

Notified:  October 03, 2013 Updated: October 16, 2013

Status

Not Affected

Vendor Statement

"The OpenSSL FIPS module is a cryptographic module which has been put through FIPS 140-2 testing. It is completely separate from OpenSSL itself. If certain versions of OpenSSL are linked against that module they become "FIPS capable" and redirect cryptographic operations to the OpenSSL FIPS module. If OpenSSL is not linked against the FIPS module the DUAL_EC_DRBG is not available at all. The DUAL_EC_DRBG is not used by default in any versions of OpenSSL. It is implemented in the current version of the OpenSSL FIPS module but the FIPS capable versions of OpenSSL will not use it by default. Specific calls need to be made to use the DUAL_EC_DRBG: i.e. it cannot be used "by accident". In other words unless the application makes very specific calls to enable the DUAL_EC_DRBG it will never be used."

Vendor Information

Only the OpenSSL FIPS module implements DUAL_EC_DRBG but it is not enabled by default. The standard distributions of OpenSSL do not utilize DUAL_EC_DRBG.

    RSA Security, Inc. Affected

    Notified:  September 23, 2013 Updated: October 16, 2013

    Status

    Affected

    Vendor Statement

    "Due to the debate around the Dual EC DRBG standard highlighted recently by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), NIST re-opened for public comment its SP 800-90 standard which covers Pseudo-random Number Generators (PRNG). For more information about the announcement see: http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/PubsDrafts.html#SP-800-90-A%20Rev%201%20B%20and%20C The ITL Security Bulletin mentioned in this announcement includes the following: “Recommending against the use of SP 800-90A Dual Elliptic Curve Deterministic Random Bit Generation: NIST strongly recommends that, pending the resolution of the security concerns and the re-issuance of SP 800-90A, the Dual_EC_DRBG, as specified in the January 2012 version of SP 800-90A, no longer be used.” The currently released and supported versions of the BSAFE libraries (including Crypto-J 6.1.x and Crypto-C ME 4.0.x) and of the RSA DPM clients and servers use Dual EC DRBG as the default PRNG, but most libraries do support other PRNGs that customers can use. We are providing guidance to our customers on how to change the PRNG from the default in their existing implementation. In the current product documentation, RSA has provided technical guidance for RSA BSAFE Toolkits and RSA DPM customers to change the PRNG in their implementation. RSA will change the default RNG in RSA BSAFE Toolkits and RSA DPM as appropriate and may update the algorithm library as needed."
