<p>Another attack has emerged on the XML Encryption standard, as described by<br clear="none">
the security advisory CVE-2011-2487:</p>
<p><a shape="rect" class="external-link" href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2011-2487" rel="nofollow">https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2011-2487</a></p>
<p>Tibor Jager, Sebastian Schinzel and Juraj Somorovsky have published a paper<br clear="none">
that describes a number of attacks on the PKCS#1 v1.5 Key Transport Algorithm,<br clear="none">
used to encrypt symmetric keys as part of WS-Security. One of these attacks<br clear="none">
exploits the fact that WSS4J can leak information about where a particular<br clear="none">
decryption operation fails. This bug has been fixed in WSS4J 1.6.5, where a <br clear="none">
new symmetric key is generated if the decryption of the encrypted key fails. <br clear="none">
In this way it is not possible for an attacker to find out whether a decryption<br clear="none">
failure was due to the failure of decrypting the key or the data.</p>
<p>Migration:</p>
<p>Any version of CXF that uses Apache WSS4J 1.6.4 or below is vulnerable to this<br clear="none">
attack. </p>
<p>CXF 2.5.2 users or below should upgrade to the latest version of CXF 2.5.x.<br clear="none">
CXF 2.4.6 users or below should upgrade to the latest version of CXF 2.4.x.<br clear="none">
CXF 2.6 and 2.7 are unaffected.</p>
<p>Additional Recommendation:</p>
<p>It is recommended that the use of the RSA v1.5 key transport algorithm be<br clear="none">
discontinued. Instead the RSA-OAEP key transport algorithm should be used.<br clear="none">
This algorithm is used by default from WSS4J 1.6.8 onwards. If you are using<br clear="none">
WS-SecurityPolicy, then make sure not to use the AlgorithmSuite policies ending<br clear="none">
in "Rsa15".</p>
