It seems like in that PR, the fact that the OID wasn't checked is part of the problem. I think a better system wouldn't compile or would always fail to verify if the OID (domain separator) is wrong, and I think you'd get that behavior in the posted system.

This is Bleichenbacher's rump-session e=3 RSA attack. It's pretty straightforward, and is in Cryptopals if anyone wants to try it. If you don't check all the RSA padding, and you use e=3, you can just take an integer cube root.
