Synopsis
========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in OpenSSL that can result in
either Denial of Service or information disclosure.
Background
==========
OpenSSL is an Open Source toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) as well as a general
purpose cryptography library.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 dev-libs/openssl < 1.0.1l-r1 *>= 0.9.8z_p5-r1
>= 1.0.1l-r1
Description
===========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in OpenSSL. Please review the
CVE identifiers and the upstream advisory referenced below for details:
* RSA silently downgrades to EXPORT_RSA [Client] (Reclassified)
(CVE-2015-0204)
* Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp (CVE-2015-0286)
* ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption (CVE-2015-0287)
* X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref (CVE-2015-0288)
* PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences (CVE-2015-0289)
* Base64 decode (CVE-2015-0292)
* DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers (CVE-2015-0293)
* Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error (CVE-2015-0209)
The following issues affect OpenSSL 1.0.2 only which is not part of the
supported Gentoo stable tree:
* OpenSSL 1.0.2 ClientHello sigalgs DoS (CVE-2015-0291)
* Multiblock corrupted pointer (CVE-2015-0290)
* Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen (CVE-2015-0207)
* Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters (CVE-2015-0208)
* Empty CKE with client auth and DHE (CVE-2015-1787)
* Handshake with unseeded PRNG (CVE-2015-0285)
Impact
======
A remote attacker can utilize multiple vectors to cause Denial of
Service or Information Disclosure.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All OpenSSL 1.0.1 users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/openssl-1.0.1l-r1"
All OpenSSL 0.9.8 users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/openssl-0.9.8z_p5-r1"
Packages which depend on the OpenSSL library need to be restarted for
the upgrade to take effect. Some packages may need to be recompiled.
Tools such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying some of these
packages.
