SA-007: A timing side-channel vulnerability in RSA OAEP decryption

Vulnerability Type: Observable Timing Discrepancy

Affected Product(s): NPCT7xx with any Firmware revision prior to 7.2.3.0

Fixed Product(s): Firmware Version: 7.2.3.0 and above. For details on firmware updates, please contact the system OEM.

Attack Type: Local

Impact: Decrypt ciphertexts encrypted to the TPM's RSA Endorsement Key, including credential blobs, import blobs, and session salts.

Affected Components: RSA Endorsement Key

Attack Vector: Side Channel Attack

Severity: Medium

Detailed Description: A timing side-channel vulnerability in RSA OAEP decryption was reported in the TCG TPM 2.0 reference code that could allow a local attacker with elevated privileges to decrypt ciphertexts (import blobs, credential blobs, and session salts) encrypted to the RSA Endorsement Key or falsify TPM 2.0 Attestation Keys.
