CVE-2016-0702  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-200  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade OpenSSL to version 1.0.200, 1.0.207 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 side channel attacks. The vulnerability exploits cache-bank conflicts on the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture, exposing RSA keys. However, an attacker can only exploit this only if he has control of code in a thread running on the same hyper-threaded core as the victim thread who is executing decryption process.
