| Description: | Description:
The remote host is missing an update to openssl
announced via advisory MDVSA-2012:006.
Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in openssl:
The DTLS implementation in OpenSSL before 0.9.8s and 1.x before 1.0.0f
performs a MAC check only if certain padding is valid, which makes
it easier for remote attackers to recover plaintext via a padding
oracle attack (CVE-2011-4108).
Double free vulnerability in OpenSSL 0.9.8 before 0.9.8s, when
X509_V_FLAG_POLICY_CHECK is enabled, allows remote attackers to
have an unspecified impact by triggering failure of a policy check
(CVE-2011-4109).
The SSL 3.0 implementation in OpenSSL before 0.9.8s and 1.x before
1.0.0f does not properly initialize data structures for block cipher
padding, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive
information by decrypting the padding data sent by an SSL peer
(CVE-2011-4576).
The Server Gated Cryptography (SGC) implementation in OpenSSL before
0.9.8s and 1.x before 1.0.0f does not properly handle handshake
restarts, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
via unspecified vectors (CVE-2011-4619).
The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.
Affected: 2010.1, Enterprise Server 5.0
Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
