Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions OpenSSL versions prior to 0.9.6

Description The issue arises from mishandled C bitwise-shift operations that exceed the size of an expression in OpenSSL, making it easier for remote attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms. This is particularly relevant on 64-bit HP-UX platforms due to improper RSA key generation.

Recommendations For versions prior to 0.9.6, update to version 0.9.6 or later to resolve the issue.
