Subject: OpenServer 5.0.5 OpenServer 5.0.6 OpenServer 5.0.7: Multiple vulnerabilities affecting several components of gwxlibs
Advisory number: CSSA-2003-SCO.29
Issue date: 2003 November 04
Cross reference: sr885387 fz528382 erg712448 sr875559 fz527506 erg712256 sr875409 fz527489 erg712252 CAN-2003-0543 CAN-2003-0544 CAN-2003-0545 CAN-2003-0131 CAN-2003-0107
______________________________________________________________________________
1. Problem Description
Multiple vulnerabilities affecting several components of gwxlibs. The issues are:
Multiple Vulnerability Issues in OpenSSL up to and including 0.9.6j and 0.9.7b
NISCC/006489/openssl/1
CAN-2003-0543 Integer overflow in OpenSSL 0.9.6 and 0.9.7 may allow
remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an SSL client
certificate with certain ASN.1 tag values.
CAN-2003-0544 OpenSSL 0.9.6 and 0.9.7 does not properly track the number
of characters in certain ASN.1 inputs, which mahy allow remote attackers to
cause a denial of service (crash) via an SSL client certificate that causes
OpenSSL to read past the end of a buffer when the long form is used.
NISCC/006489/openssl/2
An invalid public key in a certificate will crash the verify code if it is set
to ignore all errors. This isnt done in production code just for debugging
purposes. Successful exploitation would result in a Denial of Service
condition.
NISCC/006489/openssl/3
CAN-2003-0545 Double-free vulnerability in OpenSSL 0.9.7 may allow remote attackers
to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via an
SSL client certificate with a certain invalid ASN.1 encoding.
Certain ASN.1 structures which are rejected as invalid by the parser result in
part of the corresponding structure being freed up incorrectly. In theory
exploitation of this vulnerability could result in an attacker being able to
execute malicious code.
GNU TLS Library Record Layer Timing Information Leakage Weakness
CAN-2003-0131 The SSL and TLS components for OpenSSL 0.9.6i and earlier, 0.9.7,
and 0.9.7a may allow remote attackers to perform an unauthorized RSA private key
operation via a modified Bleichenbacher attack that uses a large number of SSL
or TLS connections using PKCS #1 v1.5 padding that cause OpenSSL to leak
information regarding the relationship between ciphertext and the associated
plaintext, aka the "Klima-Pokorny-Rosa attack."
Buffer overflow in the gzprintf function in zlib 1.1.4
CAN-2003-0107 Buffer overflow in the gzprintf function in zlib 1.1.4, when zlib
is compiled without vsnprintf or when long inputs are truncated using vsnprintf,
may allow attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.
Since OpenServer builds of libz use vsnprintf(), only the less serious truncation
part of this potential vulnerability applies even when this supplement is not installed.
This supplement contains zlib 1.1.4 patched with an unofficial patch has been
released which implements proper verification of the usability of the vsnprintf()
function. No new official zlib version has been released.
