CVE-2012-2417
Last modified
CVE-2012-2417 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. PyCrypto before 2.6 does not produce appropriate prime numbers when using an ElGamal scheme to generate a key, which reduces the signature space or public key space and makes it easier for attackers to conduct brute force attacks to obtain the private key.. EPSS estimates a 2.73% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
