Last modified
CVE-2013-1620 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The TLS implementation in Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) does not properly consider timing side-channel attacks on a noncompliant MAC check operation during the processing of malformed CBC padding, which allows remote attackers to conduct distinguishing attacks and plaintext-recovery attacks via statistical analysis of timing data for crafted packets, a related issue to CVE-2013-0169.. EPSS estimates a 3.72% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
