Description Kurt Seifried 2013-11-08 21:05:19 UTC
Marc Deslauriers reports:

Hello,

bip 0.8.8 and earlier contains an issue where failed SSL handshakes result in a
resource leak. A remote attacker can use this flaw to cause bip to run out of
resources, resulting in a denial of service.

Upstream bug:
https://projects.duckcorp.org/issues/261

Fixed by the following commit in 0.8.9:
https://projects.duckcorp.org/projects/bip/repository/revisions/df45c4c2d6f892e3e1dec23ce0ed2575b53a7d8c

Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2011-5268 to
the following vulnerability:

Name: CVE-2011-5268
URL: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-5268

connection.c in Bip before 0.8.9 does not properly close sockets,
which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (file
descriptor consumption and crash) via multiple failed SSL handshakes.

Hi Vincent,

(In reply to Vincent Danen from comment #6)
> Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2011-5268 to

> URL: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-5268

While this both mentions CVE-2011-5268, the subject has CVE-2013-5268. Is the 2011 identifier the correct one? (assuming so as the issues in the issue tracker are from 2011).

Could you clarify what is the difference for CVE-2013-4550 and this second one?

Thanks in advance,
Salvatore
