📋 Description

What type of information could be disclosed by this vulnerability? The type of information that could be disclosed if an attacker successfully exploited this vulnerability is the contents of OAEP decrypt information. An attacker could read the contents of OAEP decrypt from a user mode process.

According to the CVSS metric, successful exploitation could lead to a scope change (S:C). What does this mean for this vulnerability? An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could potentially execute a cross-VM attack, thereby compromising multiple virtual machines and expanding the impact of the attack beyond the initially targeted VM.

According to the CVSS metric, the attack complexity is high (AC:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability? Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires an attacker to carefully time their actions to exploit the timing differences in the execution of specific operations. They must accurately measure these timing variations to infer sensitive information or gain unauthorized access. This often involves sophisticated techniques to manipulate and observe the timing behavior of the target system.
