Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2008:107

http://www.mandriva.com/security/

_______________________________________________________________________

 

Package : openssl

Date : May 28, 2008

Affected: 2008.1

_______________________________________________________________________

 

Problem Description:

 

Testing using the Codenomicon TLS test suite discovered a flaw in

the handling of server name extension data in OpenSSL 0.9.8f and

OpenSSL 0.9.8g. If OpenSSL has been compiled using the non-default

TLS server name extensions, a remote attacker could send a carefully

crafted packet to a server application using OpenSSL and cause a

crash. (CVE-2008-0891)

 

Testing using the Codenomicon TLS test suite discovered a flaw if

the 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS handshake

in OpenSSL 0.9.8f and OpenSSL 0.9.8g. If a client connects to a

malicious server with particular cipher suites, the server could

cause the client to crash. (CVE-2008-1672)

 

The updated packages have been patched to fix these flaws.

 

Note that any applications using this library must be restarted for

the update to take effect.
