Last modified

CVE-2009-1416 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. lib/gnutls_pk.c in libgnutls in GnuTLS 2.5.0 through 2.6.5 generates RSA keys stored in DSA structures, instead of the intended DSA keys, which might allow remote attackers to spoof signatures on certificates or have unspecified other impact by leveraging an invalid DSA key.. EPSS estimates a 3.90% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
