Subject: CVE request for saltstack
So someone pointed this out to me:
https://github.com/saltstack/salt/commit/e8ce66cf688b43aeb3e716e78b1af3a08e9940e3
priv = '{0}.pem'.format(base)
pub = '{0}.pub'.format(base)
- gen = RSA.gen_key(keysize, 1, callback=lambda x, y, z: None)
+ gen = RSA.gen_key(keysize, 65537, callback=lambda x, y, z: None)
cumask = os.umask(191)
gen.save_key(priv, None)
os.umask(cumask)
This is using the M2Crypto.RSA.
TL;DR: doing RSA crypto with a public exponent value of "1" makes crypto
very fast. Fast is not always good.
Can we get a CVE for this please?
