Dell BSAFE SSL-J contains remediation for a covert timing channel vulnerability that may be exploited by malicious users to compromise the affected system. Only customers with active BSAFE maintenance contracts can receive details about this vulnerability. Public disclosure of the vulnerability details will be shared at a later date.
Covert timing channels convey information by modulating some aspect of system behavior over time, so that the program receiving the information can observe system behavior and infer protected information.
