OpenSSL Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm Vulnerability - CVE-2005-2946

High
Reference: CVE-2005-2946
NVD Link: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2005-2946
Title: OpenSSL Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm Vulnerability
Overview:

The default configuration on OpenSSL before 0.9.8 uses MD5 for creating message digests instead of a more cryptographically strong algorithm which makes it easier for remote attackers to forge certificates with a valid certificate authority signature.
