CVE-2000-1254 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade Debian:8
openssl
to version 0.9.6-1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openssl
package and not the openssl
package as distributed by Debian
.
See How to fix?
for Debian:8
relevant fixed versions and status.
crypto/rsa/rsa_gen.c in OpenSSL before 0.9.6 mishandles C bitwise-shift operations that exceed the size of an expression, which makes it easier for remote attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms by leveraging improper RSA key generation on 64-bit HP-UX platforms.
