MiracleLinux 4 : openssl-1.0.0-20.AXS4 (AXSA:2012-14:01)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 284469

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:2012-14:01 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-2011-3207 crypto/x509/x509_vfy.c in OpenSSL 1.0.x before 1.0.0e does not initialize certain structure members, which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass CRL validation by using a nextUpdate value corresponding to a time in the past.
 Fixed bugs:
 - Loading and unloading the CHIL engine repeatedly caused the calling program to terminate unexpectedly.
 This has been fixed.
 - The missing initialization of a variable could prevcent the CHIL engine to load. This has been fixed.
 Enhancements:
 - Improved the performance of the AES encryption algorithm on CPUs with the AES-NI instruction set, and of the SHA-1 and RC4 algorithms on 32-bit and 64-bit x86 architectures.
 - The OpenSSL source package can now be built without additional patches (for testing purposes).
 - Partial RELRO is now enabled during the build of the OpenSSL libraries: this improves security.
 - The AEX-NI instruction acceleration can nowbe disabled by setting the OPENSSL_DISABLE_AES_NI environment variable to any value.
 - Implemented the direct KAT self-test for SHA-2 algorithms in FIPS mode.
 - Updated the manual and help pages with the instruction to run openssl dgst -h to list all available digest algorithms.

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.
