Summary

The TLS implementation in EMC RSA BSAFE-C Toolkits has a vulnerability related to the Dual_EC_DRBG algorithm, which generates a long sequence of random bytes. This flaw can potentially allow remote attackers to retrieve plaintext data from TLS sessions by exploiting the algorithm's inner state. This poses serious risks to data confidentiality and integrity, making it crucial for users and organizations to address this issue by patching the affected libraries or transitioning to more secure alternatives.
