[HIGH] Security Vulnerability in pycrypto #429

@ghost

Description

Security Vulnerability Detected

Dependency: pycrypto
Criticality: HIGH (Score: undefined)

Vulnerability Details

Name: CVE-2018-6594

Description:
lib/Crypto/PublicKey/ElGamal.py in PyCrypto through 2.6.1 generates weak ElGamal key parameters, which allows attackers to obtain sensitive information by reading ciphertext data (i.e., it does not have semantic security in face of a ciphertext-only attack). The Decisional Diffie-Hellman (DDH) assumption does not hold for PyCrypto's ElGamal implementation.
