The Dual_EC_DRBG implementation in EMC RSA BSAFE-C Toolkits (aka Share for C and C++) processes certain requests for output bytes by considering only the requested byte count and not the use of cached bytes, 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 CVE describes a cryptographic flaw in EMC RSA BSAFE-C Toolkits involving Dual_EC_DRBG. If an affected TLS implementation used this generator, a remote attacker could more easily recover internal state and obtain TLS plaintext. The source bundle does not provide affected versions, CVSS, or vendor fix details. Likely exposure is legacy software or appliances embedding EMC RSA BSAFE-C Toolkits, also called Share for C and C++, with TLS paths using Dual_EC_DRBG. The supplied sources do not identify exact versions, CPEs, default configurations, or current deployment prevalence. Treat this as a focused legacy-crypto exposure review, not a broad emergency from the available evidence. Raise priority where sensitive TLS traffic depends on unverified BSAFE-C components, because the stated impact is plaintext recovery. Mitigation focus: Inventory products embedding EMC RSA BSAFE-C or Share for C/C++ Toolkits.; Check vendor guidance for affected versions, fixed releases, or supported replacement libraries.; Disable or replace Dual_EC_DRBG where vendor documentation supports doing so..
