    <p>
    OpenSSL is a toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer, Transport
    Layer Security protocols and a general-purpose cryptography library.
    The x86 emulation base libraries for AMD64 contain a vulnerable version
    of OpenSSL.

  <description>
    <p>
    Daniel Bleichenbacher discovered that it might be possible to forge
    signatures signed by RSA keys with the exponent of 3.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    Since several CAs are using an exponent of 3 it might be possible for
    an attacker to create a key with a false CA signature.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All OpenSSL users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=dev-libs/openssl-0.9.7k&quot;</code>
    <p>
    All AMD64 x86 emulation base libraries users should upgrade to the

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs-2.5.2&quot;</code>
