Summary

The TLS implementation in EMC RSA BSAFE-Java Toolkits allows the use of the Extended Random extension with the Dual_EC_DRBG algorithm. This could enable remote attackers to exploit the protocol by requesting excessively long nonces from a server, potentially allowing them to deduce plaintext from ongoing TLS sessions. This vulnerability illustrates a significant risk posed by certain cryptographic mechanisms, reinforcing the necessity for secure coding practices and robust security protocols.
