CVE-2006-4343

TITLE

OpenSSL SSLv2 client code fails to properly check for NULL

DESCRIPTION

The get_server_hello function in the SSLv2 client code in OpenSSL 0.9.7 before 0.9.7l, 0.9.8 before 0.9.8d, and earlier versions allows remote servers to cause a denial of service (client crash) via unknown vectors that trigger a null pointer dereference. A flaw in the OpenSSL library could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service on an affected application. Multiple RSA implementations fail to properly handle RSA signatures. This vulnerability may allow an attacker to forge RSA signatures. OpenSSL is prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 - ------------------------------------------------------------------- VMware Security Advisory Advisory ID: VMSA-2007-0001 Synopsis: VMware ESX server security updates Issue date: 2007-01-08 Updated on: 2007-01-08 CVE: CVE-2006-3589 CVE-2006-2937 CVE-2006-2940 CVE-2006-3738 CVE-2006-4339 CVE-2006-4343 CVE-2006-4980 - ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Summary: Updated ESX Patches address several security issues. 2. Relevant releases: VMware ESX 3.0.1 without patch ESX-9986131 VMware ESX 3.0.0 without patch ESX-3069097 VMware ESX 2.5.4 prior to upgrade patch 3 VMware ESX 2.5.3 prior to upgrade patch 6 VMware ESX 2.1.3 prior to upgrade patch 4 VMware ESX 2.0.2 prior to upgrade patch 4 3. Problem description: Problems addressed by these patches: a. Incorrect permissions on SSL key files generated by vmware-config (CVE-2006-3589): ESX 3.0.1: does not have this problem ESX 3.0.0: does not have this problem ESX 2.5.4: corrected by ESX 2.5.4 Upgrade Patch 3 (Build# 36502) ESX 2.5.3: corrected by ESX 2.5.3 Upgrade Patch 6 (Build# 35703) ESX 2.1.3: corrected by ESX 2.1.3 Upgrade Patch 4 (Build# 35803) ESX 2.0.2: corrected by ESX 2.0.2 Upgrade Patch 4 (Build# 35801) A possible security issue with the configuration program vmware-config which could set incorrect permissions on SSL key files. Local users may be able to obtain access to the SSL key files. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) assigned the name CVE-2006-3589 to this issue. b. OpenSSL library vulnerabilities: ESX 3.0.1: corrected by ESX 3.0.1 Patch ESX-9986131 ESX 3.0.0: corrected by ESX 3.0.0 Patch ESX-3069097 ESX 2.5.4: corrected by ESX 2.5.4 Upgrade Patch 3 (Build# 36502) ESX 2.5.3: corrected by ESX 2.5.3 Upgrade Patch 6 (Build# 35703) ESX 2.1.3: corrected by ESX 2.1.3 Upgrade Patch 4 (Build# 35803) ESX 2.0.2: corrected by ESX 2.0.2 Upgrade Patch 4 (Build# 35801) (CVE-2006-2937) OpenSSL 0.9.7 before 0.9.7l and 0.9.8 before 0.9.8d allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and memory consumption) via malformed ASN.1 structures that trigger an improperly handled error condition. (CVE-2006-2940) OpenSSL 0.9.7 before 0.9.7l, 0.9.8 before 0.9.8d, and earlier versions allows attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via parasitic public keys with large (1) "public exponent" or (2) "public modulus" values in X.509 certificates that require extra time to process when using RSA signature verification. (CVE-2006-4339) OpenSSL before 0.9.7, 0.9.7 before 0.9.7k, and 0.9.8 before 0.9.8c, when using an RSA key with exponent 3, removes PKCS-1 padding before generating a hash, which allows remote attackers to forge a PKCS #1 v1.5 signature that is signed by that RSA key and prevents OpenSSL from correctly verifying X.509 and other certificates that use PKCS #1. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) assigned the names CVE-2006-2937, CVE-2006-2940, CVE-2006-3738, CVE-2006-4339, and CVE-2006-4343 to these issues. c. Updated OpenSSH package addresses the following possible security issues: ESX 3.0.1: corrected by Patch ESX-9986131 ESX 3.0.0: corrected by Patch ESX-3069097 ESX 2.5.4: does not have these problems ESX 2.5.3: does not have these problems ESX 2.1.3: does not have these problems ESX 2.0.2: does not have these problems (CVE-2004-2069) sshd.c in OpenSSH 3.6.1p2 and 3.7.1p2 and possibly other versions, when using privilege separation, does not properly signal the non-privileged process when a session has been terminated after exceeding the LoginGraceTime setting, which leaves the connection open and allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (connection consumption). (CVE-2006-0225) scp in OpenSSH 4.2p1 allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands via filenames that contain shell metacharacters or spaces, which are expanded twice. (CVE-2003-0386) OpenSSH 3.6.1 and earlier, when restricting host access by numeric IP addresses and with VerifyReverseMapping disabled, allows remote attackers to bypass "from=" and "user@host" address restrictions by connecting to a host from a system whose reverse DNS hostname contains the numeric IP address. (CVE-2006-4924) sshd in OpenSSH before 4.4, when using the version 1 SSH protocol, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via an SSH packet that contains duplicate blocks, which is not properly handled by the CRC compensation attack detector. NOTE: ESX by default disables version 1 SSH protocol. NOTE: ESX doesn't use GSSAPI by default. (CVE-2006-5794) Unspecified vulnerability in the sshd Privilege Separation Monitor in OpenSSH before 4.5 causes weaker verification that authentication has been successful, which might allow attackers to bypass authentication. NOTE: as of 20061108, it is believed that this issue is only exploitable by leveraging vulnerabilities in the unprivileged process, which are not known to exist. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) assigned the names CVE-2004-2069, CVE-2006-0225, CVE-2003-0386, CVE-2006-4924, CVE-2006-5051, and CVE-2006-5794 to these issues. d. Object reuse problems with newly created virtual disk (.vmdk or .dsk) files: ESX 3.0.1: does not have this problem ESX 3.0.0: does not have this problem ESX 2.5.4: corrected by ESX 2.5.4 Upgrade Patch 3 (Build# 36502) ESX 2.5.3: corrected by ESX 2.5.3 Upgrade Patch 6 (Build# 35703) ESX 2.1.3: corrected by ESX 2.1.3 Upgrade Patch 4 (Build# 35803) ESX 2.0.2: corrected by ESX 2.0.2 Upgrade Patch 4 (Build# 35801) A possible security issue with virtual disk (.vmdk or .dsk) files that are newly created, but contain blocks from recently deleted virtual disk files. Information belonging to the previously deleted virtual disk files could be revealed in newly created virtual disk files. VMware recommends the following workaround: When creating new virtual machines on an ESX Server that may contain sensitive data, use vmkfstools with the -W option. This initializes the virtual disk with zeros. NOTE: ESX 3.x defines this option as -w. e. Buffer overflow in Python function repr(): ESX 3.0.1: corrected by Patch ESX-9986131 ESX 3.0.0: corrected by ESX-3069097 ESX 2.5.4: does not have this problem ESX 2.5.3: does not have this problem ESX 2.1.3: does not have this problem ESX 2.0.2: does not have this problem A possible security issue with how the Python function repr() function handles UTF-32/UCS-4 strings. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) assigned the name CVE-2006-4980 to this issue. 4.

In particular, any connection that the mysql daemon will accept may be vulnerable. In the default configuration of mysql, that would be a local unauthorized access vulnerability, but mysql can be configured to listen for network connections from remote hosts, which would then enable remote unauthorized access. Any program that calls the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function may be vulnerable. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 SUPPORT COMMUNICATION - SECURITY BULLETIN Document ID: c00849540 Version: 1 HPSBUX02186 SSRT071299 rev.1 - HP-UX running Apache Remote Execution of Arbitrary Code, Denial of Service (DoS), Unauthorized Access NOTICE: The information in this Security Bulletin should be acted upon as soon as possible.

Software updates for the Apache-based Web Server are available from: http://h20293.www2.hp.com/cgi-bin/swdepot_parser.cgi/cgi/displayProductInfo.pl?productNumber=HPUXWSSUITE HP-UX B.11.00, B.11.11 and HP-UX B.11.23 require the Apache-based Web Server v.2.0.58.01 or subsequent. Apache Update Procedure Check for Apache Installation ----------------------------- To determine if the Apache web server from HP is installed on your system, use Software Distributor's swlist command. All three revisions of the product may co-exist on a single system. For example, the results of the command swlist -l product | grep -I apache hpuxwsAPACHE B.2.0.55.00 HP-UX Apache-based Web Server Stop Apache ------------- Before updating, make sure the previous Apache binary is stopped. If Apache is not stopped, the installation would be successful but the new version would be prevented from starting until a later time. After determining which Apache is installed, stop Apache with the following commands: for hpuxwsAPACHE: /opt/hpws/apache[32]/bin/apachectl stop Download and Install Apache -------------------------- Download Apache from Software Depot. http://h20293.www2.hp.com/cgi-bin/swdepot_parser.cgi/cgi/displayProductInfo.pl?productNumber=HPUXWSSUITE Verify successful download by comparing the cksum with the value specified on the installation web page. Use SD to swinstall the depot. Installation of this new revision of HP Apache over an existing HP Apache installation is supported, while installation over a non-HP Apache is NOT supported. Removing Apache Installation --------------------------- The potential vulnerability can also be resolved by removing Apache rather than installing a newer revision. To remove Apache use both Software Distributor's "swremove" command and also "rm -rf" the home location as specified in the rc.config.d file "HOME" variables. %ls /etc/rc.config.d | \ grep apache hpapache2conf hpws_apache[32]conf MANUAL ACTIONS: Yes - Update plus other actions Install the revision of the product.
