xbcrypt in Percona XtraBackup before 2.3.6 and 2.4.x before 2.4.5 does not properly set the initialization vector (IV) for encryption, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information from encrypted backup files via a Chosen-Plaintext attack. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2013-6394.

CVE-2016-6225 [MEDIUM] CVE-2016-6225 percona-xtrabackup: Encryption IV not being set properly
CVE-2016-6225 percona-xtrabackup: Encryption IV not being set properly
Percona XtraBackup versions older than 2.3.6 or 2.4.5 suffered an issue of not properly setting the Initialization Vector (IV) for encryption. This could allow someone to carry out a Chosen-Plaintext Attack, which could recover decrypted content from the encrypted backup files without the need for a password.
