CVE-2004-0081

TITLE

OpenSSL does not properly handle unknown message types

DESCRIPTION

OpenSSL 0.9.6 before 0.9.6d does not properly handle unknown message types, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop), as demonstrated using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool. This vulnerability was addressed in OpenSSL 0.9.6d and 0.9.7. The vulnerability is OpenSSL Applications and systems that use the library may also be affected. For more detailed information about other systems NISCC-224012 (JVN) , NISCC Advisory 224012 (CPNI Advisory 00389) Please check also.OpenSSL An application that uses the service disrupts service operation (DoS) It may be in a state. For the first issue, a NULL-pointer assignment can be triggered by attackers during SSL/TLS handshake exchanges. The CVE candidate name for this vulnerability is CAN-2004-0079. Versions 0.9.6c to 0.9.6k (inclusive) and from 0.9.7a to 0.9.7c (inclusive) are vulnerable. The second issue is also exploited during the SSL/TLS handshake, but only when Kerberos ciphersuites are in use. The vendor has reported that this vulnerability may not be a threat to many, because it occurs only when Kerberos ciphersuites are in use, an uncommon configuration. The CVE candidate name for this vulnerability is CAN-2004-0112. Versions 0.9.7a, 0.9.7b, and 0.9.7c are affected. This entry will be retired when individual BID records are created for each issue. *Note: A third denial-of-service vulnerability included in the announcement was discovered affecting 0.9.6 and fixed in 0.9.6d. The CVE candidate name for this vulnerability is CAN-2004-0081. Oracle Database Server, Oracle Application Server, Oracle Collaboration Suite, Oracle E-Business and Applications, Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control, and Oracle PeopleSoft Applications are reported prone to multiple vulnerabilities. Oracle has released a Critical Patch Update to address these issues in various supported applications and platforms. The issues identified by the vendor affect all security properties of the Oracle products and present local and remote threats. While various levels of authorization are required to leverage some issues, others do not require any authorization. This BID will be divided and updated into separate BIDs when more information is available. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to take complete control of an affected database.
