Red Hat Security Advisory

 

Synopsis: Important: openssl security update

Advisory ID: RHSA-2014:0015-01

Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2014-0015.html

Issue date: 2014-01-08

CVE Names: CVE-2013-4353 CVE-2013-6449 CVE-2013-6450

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

 

1. Summary:

 

Updated openssl packages that fix three security issues are now available

for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

 

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having

important security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base

scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each

vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

 

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

 

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 6) - i386, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop Optional (v. 6) - i386, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux HPC Node (v. 6) - x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux HPC Node Optional (v. 6) - x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6) - i386, ppc64, s390x, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6) - i386, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation Optional (v. 6) - 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 flaw was found in the way OpenSSL determined which hashing algorithm to

use when TLS protocol version 1.2 was enabled. This could possibly cause

OpenSSL to use an incorrect hashing algorithm, leading to a crash of an

application using the library. (CVE-2013-6449)

 

It was discovered that the Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS)

protocol implementation in OpenSSL did not properly maintain encryption and

digest contexts during renegotiation. A lost or discarded renegotiation

handshake packet could cause a DTLS client or server using OpenSSL to

crash. (CVE-2013-6450)

 

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the way OpenSSL handled

TLS/SSL protocol handshake packets. A specially crafted handshake packet

could cause a TLS/SSL client using OpenSSL to crash. (CVE-2013-4353)

 

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

contain backported patches to correct these issues. 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.

 

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to

use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at

https://access.redhat.com/site/articles/11258

 

5. Bugs fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

 

1045363 - CVE-2013-6449 openssl: crash when using TLS 1.2 caused by use of incorrect hash algorithm

1047840 - CVE-2013-6450 openssl: crash in DTLS renegotiation after packet loss
