CVE-2005-2946

Published: 9/16/2005 Last updated: 8/7/2024 Reserved: 9/16/2005

The default configuration on OpenSSL before 0.9.8 uses MD5 for creating message digests instead of a more cryptographically strong algorithm, which makes it easier for remote attackers to forge certificates with a valid certificate authority signature.
