Alpine: openssl: security update to 1.0.2r-r0
medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 406090
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- If an application encounters a fatal protocol error and then calls SSL_shutdown() twice (once to send a
close_notify, and once to receive one) then OpenSSL can respond differently to the calling application if
a 0 byte record is received with invalid padding compared to if a 0 byte record is received with an
invalid MAC. If the application then behaves differently based on that in a way that is detectable to the
remote peer, then this amounts to a padding oracle that could be used to decrypt data. In order for this
to be exploitable "non-stitched" ciphersuites must be in use. Stitched ciphersuites are optimised
implementations of certain commonly used ciphersuites. Also the application must call SSL_shutdown() twice
even if a protocol error has occurred (applications should not do this but some do anyway). Fixed in
OpenSSL 1.0.2r (Affected 1.0.2-1.0.2q). (CVE-2019-1559)
