CVE-2009-0591

Publication date 27 March 2009

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

The CMS_verify function in OpenSSL 0.9.8h through 0.9.8j, when CMS is enabled, does not properly handle errors associated with malformed signed attributes, which allows remote attackers to repudiate a signature that originally appeared to be valid but was actually invalid.
