Information disclosure via observable discrepancy
Published Nov 13, 2024 · Updated Nov 14, 2024
Observable discrepancy in Intel QAT Engine for OpenSSL before 1.6.1 allows remote attackers to disclose information over a network. Intel identifies CWE-203 but does not disclose the affected operation, the observable response or behavior, or the secret-derived input creating the discrepancy. Exploitation requires no privileges or user interaction but has high attack complexity, and the documented consequence is limited to confidentiality.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
