CVE-2020-13757

Severity CVSS v4.0:

Pending analysis

Type:

CWE-327 Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm

Publication date:

Description

Python-RSA before 4.1 ignores leading &#39;\0&#39; 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).
