CVE-2008-1383 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The docert function in ssl-cert.eclass, when used by src_compile or src_install on Gentoo Linux, stores the SSL key in a binpkg, which allows local users to extract the key from the binpkg, and causes multiple systems that use this binpkg to have the same SSL key and certificate.. EPSS estimates a 0.21% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
