EUVD-2006-4327

Severity: CRITICAL Base Score: 9.1 CVSS Version: 3.1

Vulnerability Description

A flaw was found in OpenSSL. When configured to use an RSA key with exponent 3, OpenSSL improperly removes PKCS-1 padding before generating a hash. This allows remote attackers to forge PKCS #1 v1.5 signatures. Consequently, OpenSSL may incorrectly verify X.509 and other certificates, leading to a bypass of trust and authentication mechanisms.
