Vendor Statments (disclaimer)

Official Statement from Red Hat (04/02/2007): Based on our research we believe that the "OpenSSL ASN.1 brute forcer." is actually exploiting flaws CVE-2003-0543, CVE-2003-0544, CVE-2003-0545. Those issues are all addressed in Red Hat Enterprise Linux and therefore CVE-2005-1730 is a duplicate assignment.
