CVE-2011-1945

UnknownEPSS 3.43%

Last modified

CVE-2011-1945 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) subsystem in OpenSSL 1.0.0d and earlier, when the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) is used for the ECDHE_ECDSA cipher suite, does not properly implement curves over binary fields, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to determine private keys via a timing attack and a lattice calculation.. EPSS estimates a 3.43% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
