PYSEC-2012-16

Vulnerability from pysec - Published: 2012-06-17 03:41 - Updated: 2021-08-27 03:22

Details

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.
