CVE-2014-5270  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-200  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:12.04 libgcrypt11 to version 1.5.0-3ubuntu0.3 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libgcrypt11 package and not the libgcrypt11 package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:12.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

Libgcrypt before 1.5.4, as used in GnuPG and other products, does not properly perform ciphertext normalization and ciphertext randomization, which makes it easier for physically proximate attackers to conduct key-extraction attacks by leveraging the ability to collect voltage data from exposed metal, a different vector than CVE-2013-4576.
