Daniel Bleichenbacher recently described an attack on PKCS #1 v1.5

signatures where an RSA key with a small exponent used could be

vulnerable to forgery of a PKCS #1 v1.5 signature signed by that

key.

 

Any software using OpenSSL to verify X.509 certificates is potentially

vulnerable to this issue, as well as any other use of PKCS #1 v1.5,

including software uses OpenSSL for SSL or TLS.

 

Updated packages are patched to address this issue.
