CVE Catalog

CVE-2002-1697

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The Electronic Code Book (ECB) mode in VTun versions 2.0 through 2.5 uses a weak encryption algorithm that produces the same ciphertext from the same plaintext blocks. This could allow remote attackers to gain sensitive information.

Risk Assessment

The weakness in the encryption algorithm poses a risk of exposing confidential data, potentially leading to serious security breaches within the organization.

Recommendation

It is recommended to upgrade VTun to the latest version that does not use ECB mode and to implement stronger encryption algorithms.
