CVE-2008-3280 EXPLOIT
5.9
MEDIUM · CVSS 3.1 · EPSS 4% (pctl 90)
Patch early
A public exploit exists.
Description
It was found that various OpenID Providers (OPs) had TLS Server Certificates that used weak keys, as a result of the Debian Predictable Random Number Generator (CVE-2008-0166). In combination with the DNS Cache Poisoning issue (CVE-2008-1447) and the fact that almost all SSL/TLS implementations do not consult CRLs (currently an untracked issue), this means that it is impossible to rely on these OPs.
