What is CVE-2016-0923?

CVE-2016-0923 is a high-severity vulnerability in n/a, published on 18 Sep 2016. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

Official description

The client in EMC RSA BSAFE Micro Edition Suite (MES) 4.0.x before 4.0.9 and 4.1.x before 4.1.5 places the weakest algorithms first in a signature-algorithm list transmitted to a server, which makes it easier for remote attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms by leveraging server behavior in which the first algorithm is used.

Weakness: CWE-327
