Incorrect Implementation in RSA Key Pair Generator Could Lead to Weak RSA Keys and Crypto Vulnerabilities

CVE-2018-9426

What is CVE-2018-9426?

The vulnerability in Android's RSAKeyPairGenerator arises from an incorrect implementation in the getNumberOfIterations method, which can result in the generation of weak RSA key pairs. This situation can potentially compromise the cryptographic strength of applications relying on secure key generation. Notably, the exploitation of this vulnerability does not require any user interaction or elevated privileges, making it a serious concern for security. A fix has been implemented to ensure compliance with the FIPS standard for key generation, enhancing the overall security framework within affected versions of Android.
