CVE-2017-3732  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-200  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade OpenSSL to version 1.0.211 or higher.

Overview

OpenSSL is a SSL/TLS and Crypto toolkit. Deprecated in Mac OS and gone in iOS, this spec gives your project non-deprecated OpenSSL support.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. OpenSSL is vulnerable to information disclosure. The library contains a carry propagation bug during the montgomery squaring procedure. This makes it easier for a malicious user to obtain sensitive private key information from the Diffie-Hellman Ciphersuite as the attack can be conducted offline.
