news 28 Posted January 11, 2015 Package : openssl Version : 0.9.8o-4squeeze19 CVE ID : CVE-2014-3570 CVE-2014-3571 CVE-2014-3572 CVE-2014-8275 CVE-2015-0204 Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in OpenSSL, a Secure Sockets Layer toolkit. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following issues: CVE-2014-3570 Pieter Wuille of Blockstream reported that the bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect results on some platforms, which might make it easier for remote attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms. CVE-2014-3571 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. reported that a carefully crafted DTLS message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer dereference. A remote attacker could use this flaw to mount a denial of service attack. CVE-2014-3572 Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA reported that an OpenSSL client would accept a handshake using an ephemeral ECDH ciphersuite if the server key exchange message is omitted. This allows remote SSL servers to conduct ECDHE-to-ECDH downgrade attacks and trigger a loss of forward secrecy. CVE-2014-8275 Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen of the Codenomicon CROSS project and Konrad Kraszewski of Google reported various certificate fingerprint issues, which allow remote attackers to defeat a fingerprint-based certificate-blacklist protection mechanism. CVE-2015-0204 Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA reported that an OpenSSL client will accept the use of an ephemeral RSA key in a non-export RSA key exchange ciphersuite, violating the TLS standard. This allows remote SSL servers to downgrade the security of the session. Share this post Link to post
