Tracker summary

CVE-2016-7420 severity low: SUSE including 4 source package names (libcryptopp, libcryptopp-devel, libcryptopp5_6_5, libcryptopp8_6_0), 43 product×package rows across 19 product lines (SUSE CaaS Platform 4.0, SUSE Enterprise Storage 6, … (19 product lines)): Known Not Affected 43.

Description:

Crypto++ (aka cryptopp) through 5.6.4 does not document the requirement for a compile-time NDEBUG definition disabling the many assert calls that are unintended in production use, which might allow context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information by leveraging access to process memory after an assertion failure, as demonstrated by reading a core dump.
