CVE-2006-4339

A flaw was found in OpenSSL.

Impact

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.
