RSA Key Generation vulnerable to side-channel attack - CVE-2020-12402

ID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:64058Date: (C)2020-07-02   (M)2023-11-19
Class: VULNERABILITYFamily: macos




Mozilla Firefox 78 : During RSA key generation, bignum implementations used a variation of the Binary Extended Euclidean Algorithm which entailed significantly input-dependent flow. This allowed an attacker able to perform electromagnetic-based side channel attacks to record traces leading to the recovery of the secret primes.
We would like to thank Sohaib ul Hassan for contributing a fix for this issue as well.
Note: An unmodified Firefox browser does not generate RSA keys in normal operation and is not affected, but products built on top of it might.
