{"cve":"CVE-2016-8217","nvd":{"published":"2017-02-03T07:59:00.437","modified":"2026-06-17T00:54:01.863","status":"Modified","description":"EMC RSA BSAFE Crypto-J versions prior to 6.2.2 has a PKCS#12 Timing Attack Vulnerability. A possible timing attack could be carried out by modifying a PKCS#12 file that has an integrity MAC for which the password is not known. An attacker could then feed the modified PKCS#12 file to the toolkit and guess the current MAC one byte at a time. This is possible because Crypto-J uses a non-constant-time method to compare the stored MAC with the calculated MAC. This vulnerability is similar to the issue described in CVE-2015-2601.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","score":3.7},"cwes":["CWE-200"],"references":["http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/540066/30/0/threaded","http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/95831","http://www.securitytracker.com/id/1037732","http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/540066/30/0/threaded","http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/95831"],"products":["dell:bsafe_crypto-j"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T20:41:54.846948762+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2016-8217","score":0.01494,"percentile":0.7417,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
