If the application then behaves differently + based on that in a way that is detectable to the remote peer, then this + amounts to a padding oracle that could be used to decrypt data. + + In order for this to be exploitable "non-stitched" ciphersuites must be in + use. Stitched ciphersuites are optimised implementations of certain + commonly used ciphersuites. Also the application must call SSL_shutdown() + twice even if a protocol error has occurred (applications should not do + this but some do anyway). + + This issue was discovered by Juraj Somorovsky, Robert Merget and Nimrod + Aviram, with additional investigation by Steven Collison and Andrew + Hourselt.
