SUSE SLED12 / SLES12 Security Update : compat-openssl098 (SUSE-SU-2014:1512-1) (POODLE)

low Nessus Plugin ID 83647

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

compat-openssl098 was updated to fix three security issues.

NOTE: this update alone DOESN'T FIX the POODLE SSL protocol vulnerability. OpenSSL only adds downgrade detection support for client applications. See https://www.suse.com/support/kb/doc.php?id=7015773 for mitigations.

These security issues were fixed :

- Session ticket memory leak (CVE-2014-3567).

- Fixed build option no-ssl3 (CVE-2014-3568).

- Added support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV (CVE-2014-3566).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

To install this SUSE Security Update use YaST online_update.
