Tracker summary

CVE-2017-7526 unimportant priority: Debian including 3 source packages (gnupg1, gnupg2, libgcrypt20), 15 status rows across 5 suites (bookworm, bullseye, forky, sid, trixie): resolved 15.

Description:

libgcrypt before version 1.7.8 is vulnerable to a cache side-channel attack resulting into a complete break of RSA-1024 while using the left-to-right method for computing the sliding-window expansion. The same attack is believed to work on RSA-2048 with moderately more computation. This side-channel requires that attacker can run arbitrary software on the hardware where the private RSA key is used.
