Technical details
HCL Aftermarket EPC version 1.0.0 is vulnerable to the 'Lucky 13' timing attack (CWE-208). This vulnerability exists in the application's handling of TLS 1.1, TLS 1.2, DTLS 1.0, and DTLS 1.2, as well as legacy protocols like SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0. The flaw stems from differences in processing time for different padding errors in CBC-mode ciphers. A network-based attacker performing a man-in-the-middle attack can use these timing differences as a side-channel to potentially decrypt sensitive information from the encrypted stream. The attack requires high complexity and a large number of samples to be successful.
