Tracker summary

CVE-2017-7526 medium priority: Ubuntu including 4 source packages (gnupg, gnupg1, libgcrypt11, libgcrypt20), 30 status rows across 9 suites (artful, bionic, cosmic, disco, trusty, upstream, xenial, yakkety, zesty): DNE 13, not-affected 7, released 7, needs-triage 3.

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.
