CAN-2004-0079/0081/0112 Flaws in OpenSSL
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:07:00 EST
Testing performed by the OpenSSL group using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool uncovered a null-pointer assignment in the do_change_cipher_spec() function in OpenSSL 0.9.6c-0.9.6k and 0.9.7a-0.9.7c. A remote attacker could perform a carefully crafted SSL/TLS handshake against a server that used the OpenSSL library in such a way as to cause OpenSSL to crash. Depending on the application this could lead to a denial of service. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0079 to this issue. CAN-2004-0079 Affects: 3AS 3ES 3WS Stephen Henson discovered a flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking code when using Kerberos ciphersuites in OpenSSL 0.9.7a-0.9.7c. A remote attacker could perform a carefully crafted SSL/TLS handshake against a server configured to use Kerberos ciphersuites in such a way as to cause OpenSSL to crash. Most applications have no ability to use Kerberos ciphersuites and will therefore be unaffected by this issue. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0112 to this issue. CAN-2004-0112 Affects: 3AS 3ES 3WS Testing performed by the OpenSSL group using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool uncovered a bug in older versions of OpenSSL 0.9.6 prior to 0.9.6d that can lead to a Denial of Service attack (infinite loop). The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0081 to this issue. CAN-2004-0081 Affects: 2.1AS 2.1AW 2.1ES 2.1WS (+095a) CAN-2004-0081 Affects: 3AS 3ES 3WS (096b packages) Notified by NISCC Embargoed until March 17th 1400UTC
