CVE-1999-1444

Summary

CVE-1999-1444 is a vulnerability affecting Alibaba version 2.0 and its genkey utility. This issue results in the generation of RSA key pairs with an exponent of one, rendering the encryption ineffective. Transactions using these keys are consequently sent in cleartext, posing a significant risk for interception and data theft. This flaw can be exploited by an attacker to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information during transmission. The use of weak encryption can lead to serious security breaches, making it crucial for users to update their systems to a secure version to mitigate this risk.
