ESA-2010-018: RSAR Authentication Client information disclosure
Affected Products:



Any version of RSA Authentication Client used only with RSA SecurID 800 authenticators to store secret key objects tagged as SENSITIVE and NON-EXTRACTABLE.


Description:



CVE Identifier: CVE-2010-3321



RSA Authentication Client can be used to store secret key objects on an RSA SecurID 800 hybrid authenticator using the PKCS#11 API. According to PKCS#11 specifications, secret key objects tagged as SENSITIVE and NON-EXTRACTABLE cannot be exported from the device. This option safeguards against the possibility of a key being used in a manner for which it was not originally intended by the developer of the application (e.g., a user copying the key to another device). Affected versions of RSA Authentication Client ignore the SENSITIVE and NON-EXTRACTABLE tags for secret key objects and allow these objects to be extracted by a properly authenticated userRead more at www.criticalwatch.com
