Overview

CVE-2007-6755 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting dell bsafe_crypto-c-micro-edition. It was published on October 11, 2013 and has a CVSS 2.0 base score of 5.8 (MEDIUM).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 2.0 base score of 5.8, rated MEDIUM. It can be exploited remotely over the network. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical description

The NIST SP 800-90A default statement of the Dual Elliptic Curve Deterministic Random Bit Generation (Dual_EC_DRBG) algorithm contains point Q constants with a possible relationship to certain "skeleton key" values, which might allow context-dependent attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms by leveraging knowledge of those values. NOTE: this is a preliminary CVE for Dual_EC_DRBG; future research may provide additional details about point Q and associated attacks, and could potentially lead to a RECAST or REJECT of this CVE.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from dell. Update bsafe_crypto-c-micro-edition to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
