CVE-2016-10213: A10networks advanced core operating system information exposure vulnerability

A10networks · Advanced Core Operating System

A10 AX1030 and possibly other devices with software before 2.7.2-P8 uses random GCM nonce generations, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain the authentication key and spoof data by leveraging a reused nonce in a session and a "forbidden attack," a similar issue to CVE-2016-0270.
