Description Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2015-12-03 23:07:47 EST
The following was reported by OpenSSL upstream:


When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.

This issue affects OpenSSL versions 1.0.2 and 1.0.1, 1.0.0 and 0.9.8.

OpenSSL 1.0.2 users should upgrade to 1.0.2e
OpenSSL 1.0.1 users should upgrade to 1.0.1q
OpenSSL 1.0.0 users should upgrade to 1.0.0t
OpenSSL 0.9.8 users should upgrade to 0.9.8zh

This issue was reported to OpenSSL on November 9 2015 by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using libFuzzer. The fix was developed by Dr. Stephen
Henson of the OpenSSL development team.

Comment 12 Arun Natarajan 2016-01-20 04:19:34 EST
After upgrading the openssl to openssl-devel-0.9.8e-37.el5_11 on Redhat5, we get the following error. Does this upgrade disabled some ciphers? 

openssl s_client -connect domain:443
CONNECTED(00000003)
6052:error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol:s23_clnt.c:591:
Comment 13 Tomas Mraz 2016-01-20 04:47:18 EST
In comparison to openssl-36.el5_11 there was no change apart from the fix for CVE-2015-3195 which does not touch SSL/TLS code at all.
Comment 14 Arun Natarajan 2016-01-20 05:52:55 EST
interesting, but it just works when I downgrade the openssl to 36.el5.11.

$ openssl s_client -connect domain:443
CONNECTED(00000003)
