EPSS: 4.0% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
Public exploit or detection template: yes
Published: 2021-05-21 · updated 2026-06-16
Weakness: CWE-338

Description

It was found that various OpenID Providers (OPs) had TLS Server Certificates that used weak keys, as a result of the Debian Predictable Random Number Generator (CVE-2008-0166). In combination with the DNS Cache Poisoning issue (CVE-2008-1447) and the fact that almost all SSL/TLS implementations do not consult CRLs (currently an untracked issue), this means that it is impossible to rely on these OPs.
