DSA-875-1 openssl094 -- cryptographic weakness

Related Vulnerabilities: CVE-2005-2969  

Yutaka Oiwa discovered a vulnerability in the Open Secure Socket Layer (OpenSSL) library that can allow an attacker to perform active protocol-version rollback attacks that could lead to the use of the weaker SSL 2.0 protocol even though both ends support SSL 3.0 or TLS 1.0.
