Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.54252
Category:Trustix Local Security Checks
Title:Trustix Security Advisory TSLSA-2003-0005 (openssl)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory TSLSA-2003-0005.

From the openssl advisory:
OpenSSL version since 0.9.6c supposedly treat block cipher padding
errors like MAC verification errors during record decryption
(see http://www.openssl.org/~
bodo/tls-cbc.txt), but MAC verification
was still skipped after detection of a padding error, which allowed
the timing attack. (Note that it is likely that other SSL/TLS
implementations will have similar problems.)

OpenSSL 0.9.6i and 0.9.7a perform a MAC computation even if incorrrect
block cipher padding has been found to minimize information leaked via
timing. For earlier versions starting with 0.9.6e, the enclosed
security patch can be used.


Solution:
Update your system with the packages as indicated in
the referenced security advisory.
