Adaptive-Chosen Ciphertext Attack on Radware Alteon Devices

CVE-2017-17427

What is CVE-2017-17427?

Radware Alteon devices running firmware versions between 31.0.0.0 and 31.0.3.0 are susceptible to an adaptive-chosen ciphertext attack, commonly known as a Bleichenbacher attack. This flaw enables attackers to decrypt encrypted traffic that utilizes the RSA cipher, potentially exposing sensitive data and allowing for further exploitation of private key operations. Organizations using affected devices should assess their security posture and apply recommended updates to mitigate risks associated with this vulnerability.
