Last modified
CVE-2014-9742 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The Miller-Rabin primality check in Botan before 1.10.8 and 1.11.x before 1.11.9 improperly uses a single random base, which makes it easier for remote attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms via a DH group.. EPSS estimates a 1.43% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
Description
