GHSA-4grx-2x9w-596c: Marvin Attack: potential key recovery through timing sidechannels

November 28, 2023 (updated December 14, 2023)

The Marvin Attack is a timing sidechannel vulnerability which allows performing RSA decryption and signing operations as an attacker with the ability to observe only the time of the decryption operation performed withthe private key.

A recent survey of RSA implementations found that the Rust rsa crate is one of many implementations vulnerable to this attack.

No fixed version is available at this time.
