Tracker summary

CVE-2016-6225 medium priority: Ubuntu including 1 source packages (percona-xtrabackup), 15 status rows across 15 suites (artful, bionic, cosmic, disco, eoan, focal, groovy, hirsute, impish, precise, trusty, upstream, xenial, yakkety, zesty): DNE 6, ignored 6, released 2, not-affected 1.

Description:

xbcrypt in Percona XtraBackup before 2.3.6 and 2.4.x before 2.4.5 does not properly set the initialization vector (IV) for encryption, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information from encrypted backup files via a Chosen-Plaintext attack. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2013-6394.
