CVE-2006-2940

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. -----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.

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-2006-4339) 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. (CVE-2006-4343) 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. 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. (CVE-2006-5051) Signal handler race condition in OpenSSH before 4.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash), and possibly execute arbitrary code if GSSAPI authentication is enabled, via unspecified vectors that lead to a double-free. 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. Python applications using this function can open a security vulnerability that could allow the execution of arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) assigned the name CVE-2006-4980 to this issue. 4.

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. --WfZ7S8PLGjBY9Voh Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200610-11 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - http://security.gentoo.org/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Severity: High Title: OpenSSL: Multiple vulnerabilities Date: October 24, 2006 Bugs: #145510 ID: 200610-11 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Synopsis ======== OpenSSL contains multiple vulnerabilities including the possible remote execution of arbitrary code. 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.
