CVE-2016-2107 is a padding-oracle vulnerability in the AES-NI implementation of OpenSSL versions before 1.0.1t and 1.0.2 before 1.0.2h, affecting various products including Canonical, Debian, Google, and Red Hat. This medium-severity flaw (CVSS 5.9) allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive cleartext information from AES CBC sessions due to improper memory allocation during a padding check, stemming from an incorrect fix for a previous vulnerability.
