[ MDVSA-2010:076-1 ] openssl

[dude67]

_______________________________________________________________________

Package : openssl
Date : April 19, 2010
Affected: 2009.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

This update fixes several security issues in openssl:
- The ssl3_get_record function in ssl/s3_pkt.c in OpenSSL 0.9.8f
through 0.9.8m allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(crash) via a malformed record in a TLS connection (CVE-2010-0740)
- OpenSSL before 0.9.8m does not check for a NULL return value
from bn_wexpand function calls which has unspecified impact and
context-dependent attack vectors (CVE-2009-3245)
- The kssl_keytab_is_available function in ssl/kssl.c in OpenSSL
before 0.9.8n, when Kerberos is enabled but Kerberos configuration
files cannot be opened, could allow remote attackers to cause a denial
of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) (CVE-2010-0433)
- Finally, this update provides support for secure renegotiation,
preventing men-in-the-middle attacks (CVE-2009-3555).

Packages for 2008.0 and 2009.0 are provided due to the Extended
Maintenance Program for those products.

Update:

Packages for 2009.0 are provided due to the Extended Maintenance
Program.
