Fixed In Version: openssl 1.0.1r, openssl 1.0.2f
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the way malicious SSLv2 clients could negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that were disabled on the server. This could result in weak SSLv2 ciphers being used for SSLv2 connections, making them vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks.

Description Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2016-01-26 07:32:55 UTC 
As per OpenSSL upstream:

A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.

This issue affects OpenSSL versions 1.0.2, 1.0.1.

OpenSSL 1.0.2 users should upgrade to 1.0.2f
OpenSSL 1.0.1 users should upgrade to 1.0.1r

This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th December 2015 by Nimrod Aviram and Sebastian Schinzel. The fix was developed by Nimrod Aviram with further development by Viktor Dukhovni of the OpenSSL development team.

Comment 3 Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2016-01-28 08:41:15 UTC 
Statement:

This security flaw can only be exploited when a malicious client negotiates SSLv2 ciphers and completes a SSLv2 handshake. This flaw cannot be actively exploited by a Man-In-The-Middle attacker. 

All versions of OpenSSL shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux enable SSLv2 protocol, but disable SSLv2 ciphers by default (in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and later), therefore are vulnerable to this flaw. Red Hat Product Security has rated this issue as having Low security impact, a future update may address this flaw.

SSLv2 suffers from a number of security flaws allowing attackers to capture and alter information passed between a client and the server. Therefore we strongly recommend that SSLv2 should be disabled on all the SSL/TLS servers.
