CVE-2024-0436
Prevent timing attack for single-user password check
Résumé
Prevent timing attack for single-user password check
Description d'origine
La description telle que publiée par la source (souvent en anglais).
Theoretically, it would be possible for an attacker to brute-force the password for an instance in single-user password protection mode via a timing attack given the linear nature of the !== used for comparison.
The risk is minified by the additional overhead of the request, which varies in a non-constant nature making the attack less reliable to execute
