Last modified
CVE-2020-20949 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.9/10 on the CVSS scale. Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding for RSA in STM32 cryptographic firmware library software expansion for STM32Cube (UM1924). The vulnerability can allow one to use Bleichenbacher's oracle attack to decrypt an encrypted ciphertext by making successive queries to the server using the vulnerable library, resulting in remote information disclosure.. EPSS estimates a 0.92% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
