MiracleLinux 4 : openssl-1.0.1e-16.AXS4.4 (AXSA:2014-071:01)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 289166

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:2014-071:01 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.
 CVE-2013-4353 The ssl3_take_mac function in ssl/s3_both.c in OpenSSL 1.0.1 before 1.0.1f allows remote TLS servers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted Next Protocol Negotiation record in a TLS handshake.
 CVE-2013-6449 The ssl_get_algorithm2 function in ssl/s3_lib.c in OpenSSL before 1.0.2 obtains a certain version number from an incorrect data structure, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via crafted traffic from a TLS 1.2 client.
 CVE-2013-6450 The DTLS retransmission implementation in OpenSSL through 0.9.8y and 1.x through 1.0.1e does not properly maintain data structures for digest and encryption contexts, which might allow man-in-the-middle attackers to trigger the use of a different context by interfering with packet delivery, related to ssl/d1_both.c and ssl/t1_enc.c.
 Fixed bugs:
 As part of upgrading to version 1.0.1, some shared library symbols has been removed. This caused a problem with Ruby language OpenSSL bindings. The missing symbols have been added.
 Previously, openssl ran RDRAND instructions on Cyrix CPUs. Those are not supported and the OpenSSL would crash on startup. This Cyrix CPU detection has been fixed and OpenSSL runs as expected on Cyrix CPUs.
 Previously, the Transport Layer Security advertised some elliptic curves that are unsupported. When the server chose them, the client could not communicate with the server. This has been fixed: the TLS client now only advertises supported curves.

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.
