DescriptionNVD

Crypt::SaltedHash versions through 0.09 for Perl is susceptible to timing attacks.

These versions use Perl's built-in eq comparison. Discrepencies in timing could be used to guess the underlying hash.

AnalysisAI

Timing side-channel in the Perl module Crypt::SaltedHash through version 0.09 allows remote attackers to recover stored password hashes by measuring response-time discrepancies during hash validation. The flaw stems from use of Perl's short-circuiting eq operator inside the validate() routine, enabling byte-by-byte hash inference. …
