TITLE

OpenSSL SSLv2 client code fails to properly check for NULL

DESCRIPTION

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. 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 because it fails to validate the lengths of public keys being used. rPath Security Advisory: 2006-0175-1 Published: 2006-09-28 Products: rPath Linux 1 Rating: Major Exposure Level Classification: Remote Deterministic Unauthorized Access Updated Versions: openssl=/conary.rpath.com@rpl:devel//1/0.9.7f-10.4-1 openssl-scripts=/conary.rpath.com@rpl:devel//1/0.9.7f-10.4-1 References: http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-2937 http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-2940 http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-3738 http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-4343 http://issues.rpath.com/browse/RPL-613 Description: Previous versions of the openssl package are vulnerable to multiple attacks. Three of the vulnerabilities are denials of service, but the other is a buffer overflow that is expected to create remote unauthorized access vulnerabilities in other applications. 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.

Background ========== OpenSSL is a toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer, Transport Layer Security protocols and a general-purpose cryptography library. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 dev-libs/openssl < 0.9.8d >= 0.9.8d *>= 0.9.7l Description =========== Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, both of the Google Security Team, discovered that the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function contains a buffer overflow vulnerability, and that the SSLv2 client code contains a flaw leading to a crash. Additionally Dr. Stephen N. Henson found that the ASN.1 handler contains two Denial of Service vulnerabilities: while parsing an invalid ASN.1 structure and while handling certain types of public key. Impact ====== An attacker could trigger the buffer overflow vulnerability by sending a malicious suite of ciphers to an application using the vulnerable function, and thus execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user running the application. An attacker could also consume CPU and/or memory by exploiting the Denial of Service vulnerabilities. Finally a malicious server could crash a SSLv2 client through the SSLv2 vulnerability. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All OpenSSL 0.9.8 users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/openssl-0.9.8d" All OpenSSL 0.9.7 users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/openssl-0.9.7l" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2006-2937 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-2937 [ 2 ] CVE-2006-2940 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-2940 [ 3 ] CVE-2006-3738 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-3738 [ 4 ] CVE-2006-4343 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-4343 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200610-11.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
