HIGH

OpenSSL < 0.9.6 - RSA Key Generation Weakness on 64-bit HP-UX

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

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.
