Description

It was discovered that OpenSSL leaked timing information when decrypting TLS/SSL and DTLS protocol encrypted records when the connection used the AES CBC cipher suite and the server supported AES-NI. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to retrieve plain text from encrypted packets by using a TLS/SSL or DTLS server as a padding oracle.
