What is CVE-2017-13091?
CVE-2017-13091 is a high-severity vulnerability in IEEE Standard, published on 13 Jul 2018. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
The P1735 IEEE standard describes flawed methods for encrypting electronic-design intellectual property (IP), as well as the management of access rights for such IP, including improperly specified padding in CBC mode allows use of an EDA tool as a decryption oracle. The methods are flawed and, in the most egregious cases, enable attack vectors that allow recovery of the entire underlying plaintext IP. Implementations of IEEE P1735 may be weak to cryptographic attacks that allow an attacker to obtain plaintext intellectual property without the key, among other impacts.
Weakness: CWE-310
