CVE-2014-9742

CVE-2014-9742 describes a cryptographic weakness in the Miller-Rabin primality check within Botan versions prior to 1.10.8 and 1.11.9. The vulnerability arises from the improper use of a single random base, making it easier for attackers to compromise cryptographic protections, specifically within Diffie-Hellman (DH) groups. This high-severity vulnerability (CVSS 7.5) is remotely exploitable with low attack complexity, potentially leading to high confidentiality impact. There is no evidence of active exploitation, publicly available exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this CVE.
