If vulnerabilities similar to those identified in SHA-0 are eventually 
discovered in SHA-1, that would mean that attempts to forge a fingerprint 
would be accelerated by about 500 million times--putting it within 
theoretical reach of a network of fast PCs. 

(...)

MD5's flaws that have been identified in the past few days mean that an 
attacker can generate one hash collision in a few hours on a standard PC. 
To write a specific back door and cloak it with the same hash collision may 
be much more time intensive.
