Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.10.2020.0308
Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2020-0308)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'botan2' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2020-0308 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'botan2' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2020-0308 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
The CBC padding operations were not constant time and as a result would leak
the length of the plaintext values which were being padded to an attacker
running a side channel attack via shared resources such as cache or branch
predictor. No information about the contents was leaked, but the length alone
might be used to make inferences about the contents. This issue affects TLS CBC
ciphersuites as well as CBC encryption using PKCS7 or other similar padding
mechanisms. In all cases, the unpadding operations were already constant time
and are not affected (rhbz#1849743).

Affected Software/OS:
'botan2' package(s) on Mageia 7.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
5.0
