Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2009-04-30 20:30 - Updated: 2026-04-23 00:35
Severity ?
Summary
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.
