CVE-2013-1623
Published Feb 8, 2013 · Updated Nov 3, 2026
Original summary
Normalized public record · Updated Nov 3, 2026
The TLS and DTLS implementations in wolfSSL CyaSSL before 2.5.0 do not properly consider timing side-channel attacks on a noncompliant 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.
