Wind River Systems VxWorks weak default hashing algorithm in standard authentication API (loginLib)

Overview The hashing algorithm that is used in the standard authentication API for VxWorks is susceptible to collisions. An attacker can brute force a password by guessing a string that produces the same hash as a legitimate password. Description An attacker with a known username and access to a...

SSL Certificate Signed Using Weak Hashing Algorithm

The remote service uses an SSL certificate chain that has been signed using a cryptographically weak hashing algorithm e.g. MD2, MD4, MD5, or SHA1. These signature algorithms are known to be vulnerable to collision attacks. An attacker can exploit this to generate another certificate with the sam...
