OpenSSL, AMD64 x86 emulation base libraries: RSA signature forgery Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200609-05 (OpenSSL, AMD64 x86 emulation base libraries: RSA signature forgery) Daniel Bleichenbacher discovered that it might be possible to forge signatures signed by RSA keys with the exponent of 3. Impact Since several CAs are using an exponent of 3 it might be possible for a possible hacker to create a key with a false CA signature. Workaround There is no known workaround at this time.
