The Miller-Rabin primality check in Botan before 1.10.8 and 1.11.x before 1.11.9 improperly uses a single random base, which makes it easier for remote attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms via a DH group.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Botan used too weak a randomness approach when checking whether numbers were prime. In affected versions, this could make Diffie-Hellman cryptographic protections easier to undermine in some scenarios. The sources identify fixed Botan releases but do not provide CVSS scoring or evidence of active exploitation. Exposure is most likely in applications or appliances bundling Botan versions older than 1.10.8 or 1.11.9, especially where Botan handles Diffie-Hellman group validation or generation. The source bundle does not name downstream products. Schedule remediation where Botan is present in cryptographic services. This is not supported as an emergency from the provided evidence, but it affects trust in key-exchange protections and should not remain in exposed systems. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Botan to 1.10.8, 1.11.9, or a later supported release.; Check vendor guidance for products that bundle Botan indirectly.; Remove or update vendored and statically linked Botan copies..
