RHSA-2010:0977-01: Moderate: openssl security update

Posted by Philipp Esselbach on: 12/14/2010 09:34 AM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]

An openssl security update is available for RHEL 4




=====================================================================
Red Hat Security Advisory

Synopsis: Moderate: openssl security update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2010:0977-01
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2010-0977.html
Issue date: 2010-12-13
CVE Names: CVE-2008-7270 CVE-2009-3245 CVE-2010-4180
=====================================================================

1. Summary:

Updated openssl packages that fix three security issues are now available
for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate
security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores,
which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability
from the CVE links in the References section.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop version 4 - i386, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64

3. Description:

OpenSSL is a toolkit that implements the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3)
and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) protocols, as well as a
full-strength, general purpose cryptography library.

A ciphersuite downgrade flaw was found in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code.
A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to change the ciphersuite
associated with a cached session stored on the server, if the server
enabled the SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG option, possibly
forcing the client to use a weaker ciphersuite after resuming the session.
(CVE-2010-4180, CVE-2008-7270)

Note: With this update, setting the SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG
option has no effect and this bug workaround can no longer be enabled.

It was discovered that OpenSSL did not always check the return value of the
bn_wexpand() function. An attacker able to trigger a memory allocation
failure in that function could possibly crash an application using the
OpenSSL library and its UBSEC hardware engine support. (CVE-2009-3245)

All OpenSSL users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
backported patches to resolve these issues. For the update to take effect,
all services linked to the OpenSSL library must be restarted, or the system
rebooted.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259

5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

570924 - CVE-2009-3245 openssl: missing bn_wexpand return value checks
659462 - CVE-2010-4180 openssl: NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG ciphersuite downgrade attack
660650 - CVE-2008-7270 openssl: NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG downgrade-to-disabled ciphersuite attack
