CVE-2010-4252

Publication date 6 December 2010

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

OpenSSL before 1.0.0c, when J-PAKE is enabled, does not properly validate the public parameters in the J-PAKE protocol, which allows remote attackers to bypass the need for knowledge of the shared secret, and successfully authenticate, by sending crafted values in each round of the protocol.
