Red Hat Security Advisory

 

Synopsis: Important: openssl security update

Advisory ID: RHSA-2016:1137-01

Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Advisory URL: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2016:1137

Issue date: 2016-05-31

CVE Names: CVE-2016-2108

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

 

1. Summary:

 

An update for openssl is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

 

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact

of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score,

which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability

from the CVE link(s) 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) and

Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols, as well as a full-strength

general-purpose cryptography library.

 

Security Fix(es):

 

* A flaw was found in the way OpenSSL encoded certain ASN.1 data

structures. An attacker could use this flaw to create a specially crafted

certificate which, when verified or re-encoded by OpenSSL, could cause it

to crash, or execute arbitrary code using the permissions of the user

running an application compiled against the OpenSSL library.

(CVE-2016-2108)

 

Red Hat would like to thank the OpenSSL project for reporting this issue.

Upstream acknowledges Huzaifa Sidhpurwala (Red Hat), Hanno Böck, and David

Benjamin (Google) as the original reporters.
