openSUSE Leap 15.0: openSUSE-SU-2019:1792-1 Moderate: AES Side-Channel

A recent patch for openSUSE addresses a security flaw in libgcrypt related to an AES side-channel vulnerability.
An update that solves one vulnerability and has two fixes is now available.

Description

This update for libgcrypt fixes the following issues:

Security issues fixed:

- CVE-2019-12904: The C implementation of AES is vulnerable to a

flush-and-reload side-channel attack because physical addresses are

available to other processes. (The C implementation is used on platforms

where an assembly-language implementation is unavailable.) (bsc#1138939)

Other bugfixes:

- Don't run full FIPS self-tests from constructor (bsc#1097073)

- Skip all the self-tests except for binary integrity when called from the

constructor (bsc#1097073)

- Enforce the minimal RSA keygen size in fips mode (bsc#1125740)

- avoid executing some tests twice.

- Fixed a race condition in initialization.

- Fixed env-script-interpreter in cavs_driver.pl

- Fixed redundant fips tests in some situations causing failure to boot in

fips mode. (bsc#1097073)

This helps during booting of the system in FIPS mode with insufficient

entropy.
