MiracleLinux 4 : openssl-1.0.0-20.AXS4.5 (AXSA:2012-576:06)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 284111

Synopsis

The remote MiracleLinux host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the AXSA:2012-576:06 advisory.

 The OpenSSL toolkit provides support for secure communications between machines. OpenSSL includes a certificate management tool and shared libraries which provide various cryptographic algorithms and protocols.
 Security issues fixed with this release:
 CVE-2012-2333 Integer underflow in OpenSSL before 0.9.8x, 1.0.0 before 1.0.0j, and 1.0.1 before 1.0.1c, when TLS 1.1, TLS 1.2, or DTLS is used with CBC encryption, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted TLS packet that is not properly handled during a certain explicit IV calculation. On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, this update also fixes an uninitialized variable use bug, introduced by the fix for CVE-2012-0884 (released via RHSA-2012:0426).
 This bug could possibly cause an attempt to create an encrypted message in the CMS (Cryptographic Message Syntax) format to fail.
 Fixed bugs:
 The previously released <A HREF=http://www.asianux.com/tsn_hq/index.php?m=errata&a=detail&eid=2953&sType..., which contains a fix for CVE-2012-0884, introduced an uninitialized variable use bug, which could potentially lead to creating an encrypted message in the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) format to fail.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

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

Solution

Update the affected openssl and / or openssl-devel packages.
