NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libgcrypt11 package and not the libgcrypt11 package as distributed by Ubuntu.

A timing-based side-channel flaw was found in libgcrypt's RSA implementation. This issue may allow a remote attacker to initiate a Bleichenbacher-style attack, which can lead to the decryption of RSA ciphertexts.
