CVE-2016-7798 not yet assigned priority: Debian including 2 source packages (ruby-attr-encrypted, ruby-encryptor), 8 status rows across 4 suites (bookworm, bullseye, sid, trixie): resolved 8.

Description:

The openssl gem for Ruby uses the same initialization vector (IV) in GCM Mode (aes-*-gcm) when the IV is set before the key, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to bypass the encryption protection mechanism.
