CVE-2008-3280 describes a critical vulnerability affecting various OpenID Providers (OPs) whose TLS Server Certificates were generated with weak keys due to the Debian Predictable Random Number Generator (CVE-2008-0166). This flaw, combined with DNS Cache Poisoning (CVE-2008-1447) and the widespread failure of SSL/TLS implementations to consult Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs), renders these OPs unreliable. With a CVSS score of 5.9 (Medium), the vulnerability has a network attack vector and high impact on confidentiality, but requires high attack complexity. There is no evidence of active exploitation, nor are there Metasploit or Nuclei exploits, though an ExploitDB entry for a related OpenSSL PRNG brute force exists. Community discussion and media coverage for this CVE are minimal.
