Subject: Re: Information on PKCS #1 vulnerability and update
Note that it is very likely that S/MIME v3 will continue to
refer to RFC
2313. It is not expected that the new PKCS #7 v2 document
will be an RFC
any time soon (although RSADSI has indicated a desire to
submit it as an
RFC after it is finished). Thus, I think adding a note about this
now-well-known problem in the MSG draft would be a Very Good Thing.
To the MSG or the CMS draft? It seems that PKCS #1 usage is defined in
CMS, not MSG.
