| Beschreibung: | Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'openssl' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2014-0325 advisory.
Vulnerability Insight:
A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information from
the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing output
to the attacker. OpenSSL SSL/TLS clients and servers themselves are not
affected (CVE-2014-3508).
The issue affects OpenSSL clients and allows a malicious server to crash
the client with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an SRP
ciphersuite even though it was not properly negotiated with the client. This
can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack (CVE-2014-5139).
If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write up
to 255 bytes to freed memory (CVE-2014-3509).
An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This can be
exploited through a Denial of Service attack (CVE-2014-3505).
An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a Denial
of Service attack (CVE-2014-3506).
By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl to
leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack
(CVE-2014-3507).
OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject to a
denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client with a
null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages
(CVE-2014-3510).
A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message is
badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a higher
protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records (CVE-2014-3511).
A malicious client or server can send invalid SRP parameters and overrun
an internal buffer. Only applications which are explicitly set up for SRP
use are affected (CVE-2014-3512).
Affected Software/OS:
'openssl' package(s) on Mageia 3, Mageia 4.
Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
