Description Alexander Bergmann 2016-05-06 12:15:17 UTC 
rh#1333287 / CVE-2000-1254

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.
