<p>Note on CVE-2011-1096: XML Encryption flaw / Character pattern encoding attack</p>
<p>A new attack on the XML Encryption standard has recently emerged and<br clear="none">
is described by the security advisory CVE-2011-1096:</p>
<p><a shape="rect" class="external-link" href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=681916" rel="nofollow">https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=681916</a></p>
<p> Tibor Jager, Juraj Somorovsky, Meiko Jensen, and Jorg Schwenk<br clear="none">
described an attack technique against W3C XML Encryption Standard,<br clear="none">
when the block ciphers were used in cipher-block chaining (CBC)<br clear="none">
mode of operation. A remote attacker, aware of a cryptographic<br clear="none">
weakness of the CBC mode could use this flaw to conduct<br clear="none">
chosen-ciphertext attacks, leading to the recovery of the entire<br clear="none">
plaintext of a particular cryptogram by examining of the differences<br clear="none">
between SOAP responses, sent from JBossWS, J2EE Web Services server.</p>
<p>There is no (immediate) security "fix" for this issue, as it is an<br clear="none">
attack on the standard itself. However, the attack can be prevented by<br clear="none">
using a symmetric algorithm such as AES-128 or AES-256 with GCM. Until<br clear="none">
the WS-SecurityPolicy specification is updated to support GCM, Apache<br clear="none">
CXF has defined its own AlgorithmSuite policies to use GCM algorithms.<br clear="none">
These AlgorithmSuites are called "Basic128GCM", "Basic192GCM" and<br clear="none">
"Basic256GCM" in the namespace<br clear="none">
"http://cxf.apache.org/custom/security-policy". See here for more<br clear="none">
details about how to use these policies:</p>
