CVE-2020-13757 · Severity: low · CVSS 3.1 · Published 2020-06-01

Python-RSA before 4.1 ignores leading '\0' bytes during decryption of ciphertext. This could conceivably have a security-relevant impact, e.g., by helping an attacker to infer that an application uses Python-RSA, or if the length of accepted ciphertext affects application behavior (such as by causing excessive memory allocation).

Technologies: rsa (PyPI). Vendors: PyPI.
