Vulnerability CVE-2020-13757


Published: 2020-06-01

Description:
Python-RSA 4.0 ignores leading '\0' bytes during decryption of ciphertext. This could conceivably have a security-relevant impact, e.g., by helping an attacker to infer that an application uses Python-RSA, or if the length of accepted ciphertext affects application behavior (such as by causing excessive memory allocation).

Type:

CWE-327

(Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm)
