DEBIAN-CVE-2015-7575

Mozilla Network Security Services NSS before 3.20.2, as used in Mozilla Firefox before 43.0.2 and Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.5.2, does not reject MD5 signatures in Server Key Exchange messages in TLS 1.2 Handshake Protocol traffic, which makes it easier for man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof...

Microsoft Considers Earlier SHA-1 Deprecation Deadline

Tech companies continue to back away from SHA-1 like it’s an infectious disease. Microsoft, which already had plans to deprecate the crusty cryptographic algorithm by the start of 2017, decided this week to move up that deadline six months. The company said it’s considering whether it will start...

Practical SHA-1 Collision Attack Months Away

When Bruce Schneier made his oft-cited and mathematically sound projections about the life expectancy of the SHA-1 cryptographic algorithm, he didn’t think he was being conservative. “I thought I was being accurate given the information I had at the time,” Schneier said on Thursday. Schneier in...

Facebook Requires SHA-2 Support as of Oct. 1, 2015

Facebook has put developers on notice that as of Oct. 1, apps that do not support SHA-2 will no longer connect to its network. With Tuesday’s announcement, the tech giant has fallen in line alongside Google, Mozilla and Microsoft in deprecating the SHA-1 and older hash algorithms. “These changes...
