CVE-2021-34600

Weaknesses

  • CWE-335: CWE-335 Incorrect Usage of Seeds in Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG)

Workarounds

It is strongly recommended to raise the security level during the time window until the AES keys can be changed to securely generated ones. The complex alarm systems supports alternative authentication factors that can be combined with the Desfire NFC tag authentication. An example for such an additional factor is a requirement for a valid PIN entry on the complex alarm system in addition to a successful Desfire authentication to disarm the alarm.
