Description Andrew Griffiths 2014-08-07 02:01:13 UTC
A double free vulnerability was identified in the OpenSSL DTLS code when an attacker forces an error condition. This issue affects both client and server code.

Comment 13 Tomas Hoger 2014-08-11 12:26:27 UTC
Upstream vulnerabilities page now lists only versions starting with 0.9.8m as affected by this issue.  It seems the reason is the following change, that introduced the problem:

https://git.openssl.org/gitweb/?p=openssl.git;a=blobdiff;f=ssl/d1_both.c;h=0a5c08d;hb=f86d651;hpb=efa59b8
http://cvs.openssl.org/filediff?f=openssl/ssl/d1_both.c&v1=1.4.2.11&v2=1.4.2.15

Before the change, it was not possible to reach the "err" goto label with item != NULL in dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() so the OPENSSL_free(item) was never called there.

While this change was introduced upstream in 0.9.8m, it was also backported to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 openssl packages based on upstream version 0.9.8e, as the change was the fix for CVE-2009-1378 (bug 501254).  It was first included in openssl packages released via RHSA-2009:1335 as part of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 minor release.

The other part of the CVE-2014-3505 fix - the dtls1_reassemble_fragment() change - is only applicable to upstream versions 0.9.8o and 1.0.0a, that include following fixes for the DTLS fragment handling:
