Description Vincent Danen 2010-06-01 22:51:34 UTC

From the upstream advisory [1]:

Invalid Return value check in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
====================================================

When verification recovery fails for RSA keys an uninitialised buffer with an
undefined length is returned instead of an error code (CVE-2010-1633).

This bug is only present in OpenSSL 1.0.0 and only affects applications that
call the function EVP_PKEY_verify_recover(). As this function is not present
in previous versions of OpenSSL and not used by OpenSSL internal code very few
applications should be affected. The OpenSSL utility application "pkeyutl" does 
use this function.

Affected users should update to 1.0.0a which contains a patch to correct this
bug.

Thanks to Peter-Michael Hager for reporting this issue.
