CVE-2011-5095

MEDIUM 4.0

CVE-2011-5095 is a medium-severity vulnerability (CVSS v2 4.0). As of 2026-11-04, 200 hosts in our data show software it affects on an open service in at least 15 countries.

The Diffie-Hellman key-exchange implementation in OpenSSL 0.9.8, when FIPS mode is enabled, does not properly validate a public parameter, which makes it easier for man-in-the-middle attackers to obtain the shared secret key by modifying network traffic, a related issue to CVE-2011-1923.
