The TLS implementation in EMC RSA BSAFE-C Toolkits (aka Share for C and C++) sends a long series of random bytes during use of the Dual_EC_DRBG algorithm, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain plaintext from TLS sessions by recovering the algorithm's inner state, a different issue than CVE-2007-6755.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a legacy cryptography risk in EMC RSA BSAFE-C Toolkits. When TLS used Dual_EC_DRBG, the implementation exposed enough random output to make recovery of session plaintext easier. Business urgency is highest where old embedded or vendor products still use this toolkit and algorithm. Exposure is likely limited to legacy systems or products embedding EMC RSA BSAFE-C Toolkits and using Dual_EC_DRBG for TLS. The provided sources do not enumerate downstream affected products, versions, operating systems, or CPEs. Treat this as a high-priority legacy cryptography review, not a broad emergency. The key decision is whether any critical or internet-facing systems still depend on affected BSAFE-C TLS behavior. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems and third-party products for EMC RSA BSAFE-C or Share for C/C++ usage.; Confirm whether TLS random generation can use Dual_EC_DRBG in those deployments.; Disable or avoid Dual_EC_DRBG where vendor-supported configuration allows it..
