Red Hat Security Advisory

 

Synopsis: Moderate: openssl security update

Advisory ID: RHSA-2015:2616-01

Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2015-2616.html

Issue date: 2015-12-14

CVE Names: CVE-2015-3195

=====================================================================

 

1. Summary:

 

Updated openssl packages that fix one security issue are now available

for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

 

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Moderate security

impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which

gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the

References section.

 

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

 

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64

 

3. Description:

 

OpenSSL is a toolkit that implements the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3)

and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) protocols, as well as a

full-strength, general purpose cryptography library.

 

A memory leak vulnerability was found in the way OpenSSL parsed PKCS#7 and

CMS data. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause an application

that parses PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources to use an excessive

amount of memory and possibly crash. (CVE-2015-3195)

 

All openssl users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which

contain a backported patch to correct this issue. For the update to take

effect, all services linked to the OpenSSL library must be restarted, or

the system rebooted.

 

4. Solution:

 

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata

relevant to your system have been applied.
