CVE-2017-14737

20
FAUCET Score

CVE-2017-14737 describes a cryptographic cache-based side-channel vulnerability in the RSA implementation of Botan versions prior to 1.10.17, and 1.11.x and 2.x before 2.3.0, affecting Botan and Debian Linux. This flaw allows a local attacker to recover RSA secret key information due to an array being indexed with secret key-derived bits. Rated Medium (CVSS 5.5), it requires local access with low attack complexity and no user interaction, leading to high confidentiality impact. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
