Title:	Slackware: Security Advisory (SSA:2017-306-02)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'openssl' package(s) announced via the SSA:2017-306-02 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'openssl' package(s) announced via the SSA:2017-306-02 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: New openssl packages are available for Slackware 14.2 and -current to fix a security issue. Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/openssl-1.0.2m-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded. This update fixes a security issue: There is a carry propagating bug in the x64 Montgomery squaring procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private key that is shared between multiple clients. This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX extensions like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD Ryzen. For more information, see: [links moved to references] (* Security fix *) patches/packages/openssl-solibs-1.0.2m-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded. +--------------------------+ Affected Software/OS: 'openssl' package(s) on Slackware 14.2, Slackware current. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 4.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:P/I:N/A:N
