MiracleLinux 4 : openssl-1.0.0-20.AXS4.3 (AXSA:2012-459:04)

high Nessus Plugin ID 284334

Synopsis

The remote MiracleLinux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2012-459:04 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 this release:
CVE-2012-0884 The implementation of Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) and PKCS #7 in OpenSSL before 0.9.8u and 1.x before 1.0.0h does not properly restrict certain oracle behavior, which makes it easier for context- dependent attackers to decrypt data via a Million Message Attack (MMA) adaptive chosen ciphertext attack.
CVE-2012-1165 The mime_param_cmp function in crypto/asn1/asn_mime.c in OpenSSL before 0.9.8u and 1.x before 1.0.0h allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted S/MIME message, a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-7250.
Fixed bugs:
Fixed a regression that caused Server Gated Cryptography (SGC) handshakes to fail.

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

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

Solution

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