Openssl · Socat · CVE-2016-2217
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Socat versions 1.7.3.0 through 2.0.0-b8
**Description**
The issue lies in the OpenSSL address implementation, which does not utilize a prime number for the Diffie-Hellman (DH) key exchange. This oversight makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain the shared secret, potentially compromising the security of the connection.
**Recommendations**
For Socat version 1.7.3.0, update to a version that uses a prime number for the DH key exchange to prevent remote attackers from obtaining the shared secret.
For Socat version 2.0.0-b8, update to a version that uses a prime number for the DH key exchange to prevent remote attackers from obtaining the shared secret.
