Upstream information
Description
cipher/elgamal.c in Libgcrypt through 1.8.2, when used to encrypt messages directly, improperly encodes plaintexts, which allows attackers to obtain sensitive information by reading ciphertext data (i.e., it does not have semantic security in face of a ciphertext-only attack). The Decisional Diffie-Hellman (DDH) assumption does not hold for Libgcrypt's ElGamal implementation.SUSE information

Note from the SUSE Security Team
This is not a security flaw in libgcrypt. However if an application uses The El-gamal algorithm implemented by libgcrypt in a particular way than the application would be vulnerable to security flaw(s). Note that El-gamal is not commonly used anymore and not recommend to be used. SUSE Bugzilla entry: 1081684 [RESOLVED / INVALID] No SUSE Security Announcements cross referenced.Status of this issue by product and package
