Description Vincent Danen 2013-02-05 17:09:54 UTC 
A flaw in the OpenSSL handling of CBC ciphersuites in TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 on AES-NI (Advanced Encryption Standard New Instructions) supporting platforms [1] can be exploited in a DoS attack.

Anyone using an AES-NI platform for TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.1 on OpenSSL 1.0.1c is affected. Platforms which do not support AES-NI or versions of OpenSSL which do not implement TLS 1.2 or 1.1 (for example OpenSSL 0.9.8 and 1.0.0) are not affected.

Comment 1 Vincent Danen 2013-02-05 17:14:08 UTC 
Statement:

Not vulnerable. This issue did not affect the versions of OpenSSL as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6 as they did not include support for TLS 1.2 or 1.1.
Comment 2 Vincent Danen 2013-02-05 17:14:52 UTC 
Created openssl tracking bugs for this issue

Affects: fedora-18 [bug 908032]
Comment 3 Tomas Hoger 2013-02-06 13:28:13 UTC 
Fix for this is included as part of the changeset which is one of the several changesets added to address CVE-2013-0169 in OpenSSL (bug 907589):
