Description:
A vulnerability was reported in OpenSSL. A remote user may be able to forge certain digital signatures. Sun Java Enterprise System is affected.
If an RSA key with exponent 3 is used, a remote user may be able to forge a PKCS #1 v1.5 signature for that key.
Software that uses PKCS #1 v1.5 may be affected. Software that uses OpenSSL to verify X.509 certificates may also be affected.
Daniel Bleichenbacher reported the type of attack that is possible against PKCS #1 v1.5 signatures.
|
Impact:
A remote user may be able to forge signatures (and certificates).
|
