Last modified Jun 17, 2026

CVE-2014-4192 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The Dual_EC_DRBG implementation in EMC RSA BSAFE-C Toolkits (aka Share for C and C++) processes certain requests for output bytes by considering only the requested byte count and not the use of cached bytes, 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 1.68% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
