Subject Name:            OpenSSL
Subject Summary:         Cryptography and SSL/TLS Toolkit
Subject Home:            http://www.openssl.org/
Subject Versions:        * <= 0.9.8

Vulnerability Id:        CVE-2005-2969
Vulnerability Scope:     global (not OpenPKG specific)

Attack Feasibility:      run-time
Attack Vector:           remote network
Attack Impact:           identity fraud

Description:
    According to a vendor security advisory [0], a potential SSL 2.0
    protocol rollback attack vulnerability exists in the cryptography
    toolkit OpenSSL [1]. The vulnerability potentially affects
    applications that use the SSL/TLS server implementation provided
    by OpenSSL. Such applications are affected if they use the option
    "SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING". Applications using neither
    "SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING" nor "SSL_OP_ALL" are not affected.
    Also, applications that disable use of SSL 2.0 are not affected.
