What is CVE-2014-4191?
CVE-2014-4191 is a medium-severity vulnerability in n/a, published on 17 Jun 2014. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official description
The TLS implementation in EMC RSA BSAFE-C Toolkits (aka Share for C and C++) sends a long series of random bytes during use of the Dual_EC_DRBG algorithm, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain plaintext from TLS sessions by recovering the algorithm's inner state, a different issue than CVE-2007-6755.
Weakness: CWE-310
