CVE-2000-1254 openssl: Mishandling C bitwise-shift operations making easier to bypass protection mechanisms
Last modified: 2016-05-05 06:35:23 EDT
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.
