VectorAV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L
The RSA decrypt and encrypt functions raise an Invalid argument exception if the message is smaller than 2. This leads to X509 certificates with a signature value of 0 or 1 to throw this Invalid argument exception instead of a proper error.

Fix

The fix is to reuse the Insufficient key exception, which is documented and caught further up in the stack.
