CVE-2024-26306 is a timing side-channel vulnerability in iPerf3 versions prior to 3.17, when configured as a server with RSA authentication and using OpenSSL before 3.2.0. This flaw affects products such as es iperf3 and netapp iperf3, potentially allowing an attacker to recover credential plaintext. Rated Medium (CVSS 5.9), the vulnerability requires high attack complexity (AC:H) but no user interaction (UI:N), with a network attack vector (AV:N) leading to high confidentiality impact (C:H). Currently, there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this CVE.

CVE-2024-26306
Sep 10, 2024iperf3: vulnerable to marvin attack if the authentication option is used
May 15, 2024iPerf3 before 3.17 when used with OpenSSL before 3.2.0 as a server with RSA authentication allows a timing side channel in RSA decryption operations. This side channel could be sufficient for an attacker to recover credential plaintext. It requires the attacker to send a large number of messages for decryption as described in "Everlasting ROBOT: the Marvin Attack" by Hubert Kario.
