GSD-2012-2417
Vulnerability from gsd - Updated: 2023-12-13 01:20Details
PyCrypto before 2.6 does not produce appropriate prime numbers when using an ElGamal scheme to generate a key, which reduces the signature space or public key space and makes it easier for attackers to conduct brute force attacks to obtain the private key.
