🛡️ CVE-2015-0886 — jbcrypt
Description
Integer Overflow or Wraparound in JBCrypt
Integer overflow in the crypt_raw method in the key-stretching implementation in JBCrypt before 0.4 makes it easier for remote attackers to determine cleartext values of password hashes via a brute-force attack against hashes associated with the maximum exponent.
Weakness class
CVE-2015-0886 is classified as CWE-190: Integer Overflow or Wraparound. Arithmetic produces a value too large for its type and wraps around, so a later size or bounds check passes when it should not.
