CVE-2008-3188

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: SUSE openSUSE version 11.0

Description: The issue makes it easier for attackers to conduct brute-force attacks against hashed passwords due to the use of the DES algorithm when the configuration specifies the MD5 algorithm.

Recommendations: For SUSE openSUSE version 11.0, consider updating the configuration to use a stronger algorithm than DES to mitigate the risk of brute-force attacks against hashed passwords. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
