CVE-2021-36647
Last modified
CVE-2021-36647 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 4.7/10 on the CVSS scale. Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm in the function mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod() in lignum.c in Mbed TLS Mbed TLS all versions before 3.0.0, 2.27.0 or 2.16.11 allows attackers with access to precise enough timing and memory access information (typically an untrusted operating system attacking a secure enclave such as SGX or the TrustZone secure world) to recover the private keys used in RSA.. EPSS estimates a 0.16% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
