CVE-2014-4191

UnknownEPSS 1.73%

Last modified

CVE-2014-4191 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The TLS implementation in EMC RSA BSAFE-C Toolkits (aka Share for C and C++) sends a long series of random bytes during use of the Dual_EC_DRBG algorithm, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain plaintext from TLS sessions by recovering the algorithm's inner state, a different issue than CVE-2007-6755.. EPSS estimates a 1.73% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
