What is CVE-2008-3280?
CVE-2008-3280 is a medium-severity vulnerability in openid, published on 21 May 2021. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official description
It was found that various OpenID Providers (OPs) had TLS Server Certificates that used weak keys, as a result of the Debian Predictable Random Number Generator (CVE-2008-0166). In combination with the DNS Cache Poisoning issue (CVE-2008-1447) and the fact that almost all SSL/TLS implementations do not consult CRLs (currently an untracked issue), this means that it is impossible to rely on these OPs.
Weakness: CWE-338
