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 that triggers a NULL pointer dereference, related to the minor version number. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

The remote VMware ESX / ESXi host is missing a security-related patch.
It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including remote code execution vulnerabilities, in several third-party components and libraries :

  - Apache Tomcat 
  - Apache Tomcat Manager
  - cURL 
  - Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
  - Kernel 
  - Microsoft SQL Express
  - OpenSSL
  - pam_krb5

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 that triggers a NULL pointer de-reference, related to the minor version number.

The version of OpenSSL running on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - In TLS connections, certain incorrectly formatted     records can cause an OpenSSL client or server to crash     due to a read attempt at NULL. OpenSSL before 0.9.8m     does not check for a NULL return value from bn_wexpand     function calls in (1) crypto/bn/bn_div.c, (2)     crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c, (3) crypto/ec/ec2_smpl.c, and (4)     engines e_ubsec.c, which has an 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, does not     check a certain return value, which allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer     dereference and daemon crash) via SSL cipher     negotiation, as demonstrated by a chroot installation of     Dovecot or stunnel without Kerberos configuration files     inside the chroot. (CVE-2010-0433)

  - 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 that triggers a NULL pointer dereference,     related to the minor version number. (CVE-2010-0740)

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201110-01 (OpenSSL: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in OpenSSL. Please review       the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A context-dependent attacker could cause a Denial of Service, possibly       execute arbitrary code, bypass intended key requirements, force the       downgrade to unintended ciphers, bypass the need for knowledge of shared       secrets and successfully authenticate, bypass CRL validation, or obtain       sensitive information in applications that use OpenSSL.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The remote host is running a version of Mac OS X 10.6.x that is prior to 10.6.8. This update contains security-related fixes for the following components :

  - App Store
  - ATS
  - Certificate Trust Policy
  - CoreFoundation
  - CoreGraphics
  - FTP Server
  - ImageIO
  - International Components for Unicode
  - Kernel
  - Libsystem
  - libxslt
  - MobileMe
  - MySQL
  - OpenSSL
  - patch
  - QuickLook
  - QuickTime
  - Samba
  - servermgrd
  - subversion

Versions of Mac OS X 10.6 earlier than 10.6.8 are potentially affected by a security issue.  Mac OS X 10.6.8 contains a security fix for the following products :

  - App Store

  - ATS

  - Certificate Trust Policy

  - CoreFoundation

a. vCenter Server and vCenter Update Manager update Microsoft    SQL Server 2005 Express Edition to Service Pack 3

   Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition (SQL Express)    distributed with vCenter Server 4.1 Update 1 and vCenter Update    Manager 4.1 Update 1 is upgraded from  SQL Express Service Pack 2    to SQL Express Service Pack 3, to address multiple security    issues that exist in the earlier releases of Microsoft SQL Express.

   Customers using other database solutions need not update for    these issues.

   The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)    has assigned the names CVE-2008-5416, CVE-2008-0085, CVE-2008-0086,    CVE-2008-0107 and CVE-2008-0106 to the issues addressed in MS SQL    Express Service Pack 3.

b. vCenter Apache Tomcat Management Application Credential Disclosure

   The Apache Tomcat Manager application configuration file contains    logon credentials that can be read by unprivileged local users.

   The issue is resolved by removing the Manager application in    vCenter 4.1 Update 1.

   If vCenter 4.1 is updated to vCenter 4.1 Update 1 the logon    credentials are not present in the configuration file after the    update.

   VMware would like to thank Claudio Criscione of Secure Networking    for reporting this issue to us.

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.

New openssl packages are available for Slackware 11.0, 12.0, 12.1, 12.2, 13.0, and -current to fix security issues.

According to its banner, the remote web server is running a version of OpenSSL older than 0.9.8n.  Such versions have the following vulnerabilities : 

  - Kerberos-enabled versions of OpenSSL do not check the return value when Kerberos configuration files cannot be opened, leading to a crash. (CVE-2010-0433)

  - Rejecting a SSL/TLS record with and incorrect version number can lead to a crash.  This only affects version 0.9.8m if a 'short' is 1 bits.  Otherwise it affects all versions back to and including 0.9.8f. (CVE-2010-0740)

The version of OpenSSL installed on the remote host is prior to 0.9.8n. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 0.9.8n advisory.

  - 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 that triggers a NULL pointer     dereference, related to the minor version number. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third     party information. (CVE-2010-0740)

  - 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, does not check a certain return value, which allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) via SSL cipher     negotiation, as demonstrated by a chroot installation of Dovecot or stunnel without Kerberos configuration     files inside the chroot. (CVE-2010-0433)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
