Synopsis

Description

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.06, has libgcrypt packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability:

- The ElGamal implementation in Libgcrypt before 1.9.4 allows plaintext recovery because, during interaction between two cryptographic libraries, a certain dangerous combination of the prime defined by the receiver's public key, the generator defined by the receiver's public key, and the sender's ephemeral exponents can lead to a cross-configuration attack against OpenPGP. (CVE-2021-40528)
