Summary

The TLS implementation in Opera before 12.13 does not properly consider timing side-channel attacks on a MAC check operation during the processing of malformed CBC padding, which allows remote attackers to conduct distinguishing attacks and plaintext-recovery attacks via statistical analysis of timing data for crafted packets, a related issue to CVE-2013-0169.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Signature Spoofing by Key Recreation
    An attacker obtains an authoritative or reputable signer's private signature key by exploiting a cryptographic weakness in the signature algorithm or pseudorandom number generation and then uses this key to forge signatures from the original signer to mislead a victim into performing actions that benefit the attacker.

    descriptionThe remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201406-14 (Opera: Multiple vulnerabilities) Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Opera. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details. Impact : A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted web page using Opera, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition. Furthermore, a remote attacker may be able to obtain sensitive information, conduct Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks, or bypass security restrictions. A local attacker may be able to obtain sensitive information. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time.
