CVE-2005-2969 – openssl mitm downgrade attack

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2005-2969

The SSL/TLS server implementation in OpenSSL 0.9.7 before 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 before 0.9.8a, when using the SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING option, disables a verification step that is required for preventing protocol version rollback attacks, which allows remote attackers to force a client and server to use a weaker protocol than needed via a man-in-the-middle attack. • ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/pc/pccbbs/pc_servers/dir5.10.3_docs_relnotes.pdf http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302847 http://itrc.hp.com/service/cki/docDisplay.do?docId=c00805100 http://itrc.hp.com/service/cki/docDisplay.do?docId=c00849540 http://lists.trustix.org/pipermail/tsl-announce/2005-October/000354.html http://secunia.com/advisories/17146 http://secunia.com/advisories/17151 http://secunia.com/advisories/17153 http://secunia.com/advisories/17169 http:/&#x •
