The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Use-after-free vulnerability in the d2i_ECPrivateKey function in crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c in OpenSSL before     0.9.8zf, 1.0.0 before 1.0.0r, 1.0.1 before 1.0.1m, and 1.0.2 before 1.0.2a might allow remote attackers to     cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other     impact via a malformed Elliptic Curve (EC) private-key file that is improperly handled during import.
    (CVE-2015-0209)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Updated openssl packages that fix several security issues and one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

OpenSSL is a toolkit that implements the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) protocols, as well as a full-strength, general purpose cryptography library.

An invalid pointer use flaw was found in OpenSSL's ASN1_TYPE_cmp() function. A remote attacker could crash a TLS/SSL client or server using OpenSSL via a specially crafted X.509 certificate when the attacker-supplied certificate was verified by the application.
(CVE-2015-0286)

An integer underflow flaw, leading to a buffer overflow, was found in the way OpenSSL decoded malformed Base64-encoded inputs. An attacker able to make an application using OpenSSL decode a specially crafted Base64-encoded input (such as a PEM file) could use this flaw to cause the application to crash. Note: this flaw is not exploitable via the TLS/SSL protocol because the data being transferred is not Base64-encoded. (CVE-2015-0292)

A denial of service flaw was found in the way OpenSSL handled SSLv2 handshake messages. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause a TLS/SSL server using OpenSSL to exit on a failed assertion if it had both the SSLv2 protocol and EXPORT-grade cipher suites enabled.
(CVE-2015-0293)

A use-after-free flaw was found in the way OpenSSL imported malformed Elliptic Curve private keys. A specially crafted key file could cause an application using OpenSSL to crash when imported. (CVE-2015-0209)

An out-of-bounds write flaw was found in the way OpenSSL reused certain ASN.1 structures. A remote attacker could possibly use a specially crafted ASN.1 structure that, when parsed by an application, would cause that application to crash. (CVE-2015-0287)

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in OpenSSL's X.509 certificate handling implementation. A specially crafted X.509 certificate could cause an application using OpenSSL to crash if the application attempted to convert the certificate to a certificate request. (CVE-2015-0288)

A NULL pointer dereference was found in the way OpenSSL handled certain PKCS#7 inputs. An attacker able to make an application using OpenSSL verify, decrypt, or parse a specially crafted PKCS#7 input could cause that application to crash. TLS/SSL clients and servers using OpenSSL were not affected by this flaw. (CVE-2015-0289)

Red Hat would like to thank the OpenSSL project for reporting CVE-2015-0286, CVE-2015-0287, CVE-2015-0288, CVE-2015-0289, CVE-2015-0292, and CVE-2015-0293. Upstream acknowledges Stephen Henson of the OpenSSL development team as the original reporter of CVE-2015-0286, Emilia Kasper of the OpenSSL development team as the original reporter of CVE-2015-0287, Brian Carpenter as the original reporter of CVE-2015-0288, Michal Zalewski of Google as the original reporter of CVE-2015-0289, Robert Dugal and David Ramos as the original reporters of CVE-2015-0292, and Sean Burford of Google and Emilia Kasper of the OpenSSL development team as the original reporters of CVE-2015-0293.

This update also fixes the following bug :

* When a wrapped Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) key did not require any padding, it was incorrectly padded with 8 bytes, which could lead to data corruption and interoperability problems. With this update, the rounding algorithm in the RFC 5649 key wrapping implementation has been fixed. As a result, the wrapped key conforms to the specification, which prevents the described problems.
(BZ#1197667)

All openssl users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. For the update to take effect, all services linked to the OpenSSL library must be restarted, or the system rebooted.

OpenSSL before 0.9.8zf, 1.0.0r, or 1.0.1m are unpatched for the following vulnerabilities :

  - An invalid read flaw exists in the 'ASN1_TYPE_cmp()' function due to improperly performed boolean-type comparisons. A remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted X.509 certificate to an endpoint that uses the certificate-verification feature, to cause an invalid read operation, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2015-0286)

  - A flaw exists in the 'ASN1_item_ex_d2i()' function due to a failure to reinitialize 'CHOICE' and 'ADB' data structures when reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing. This allows a remote attacker to cause an invalid write operation and memory corruption, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2015-0287)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in the PKCS#7 parsing code due to incorrect handling of missing outer 'ContentInfo'. This allows a remote attacker, using an application that processes arbitrary PKCS#7 data and providing malformed data with ASN.1 encoding, to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2015-0289)

  - A flaw exists in servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites due to improper implementation of SSLv2. A remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message, to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2015-0293)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in the 'X509_to_X509_REQ()' function due to improper processing of certificate keys. This allows a remote attacker, via a crafted X.509 certificate, to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2015-0288)

  - A use-after-free condition exists in the 'd2i_ECPrivateKey() function due to improper processing of malformed EC private key files during import. A remote attacker can exploit this to dereference or free already freed memory, resulting in a denial of service or other unspecified impact. (CVE-2015-0209)

OpenSSL 1.0.2 prior to 1.0.2a are unpatched for the following vulnerabilities:

  - A flaw exists in the 'DTLSv1_listen()' function due to the state being preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next. A remote attacker can exploit this, via crafted DTLS traffic, to cause a segmentation fault, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2015-0207)

  - A flaw exists in the 'rsa_item_verify()' function due to improper implementation of ASN.1 signature verification. A remote attacker can exploit this, via an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS algorithm and invalid parameters, to cause a NULL pointer dereference, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2015-0208)

  - A use-after-free condition exists in the 'd2i_ECPrivateKey() function due to improper processing of malformed EC private key files during import. A remote attacker can exploit this to dereference or free already freed memory, resulting in a denial of service or other unspecified impact. (CVE-2015-0209)

  - A flaw exists in the 'ssl3_client_hello()' function due to improper validation of a PRNG seed before proceeding with a handshake, resulting in insufficient entropy and predictable output. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms via a brute-force attack, resulting in the disclosure of sensitive information. (CVE-2015-0285)

  - An invalid read flaw exists in the 'ASN1_TYPE_cmp()' function due to improperly performed boolean-type comparisons. A remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted X.509 certificate to an endpoint that uses the certificate-verification feature, to cause an invalid read operation, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2015-0286)

  - A flaw exists in the 'ASN1_item_ex_d2i()' function due to a failure to reinitialize 'CHOICE' and 'ADB' data structures when reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing. This allows a remote attacker to cause an invalid write operation and memory corruption, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2015-0287)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in the 'X509_to_X509_REQ()' function due to improper processing of certificate keys. This allows a remote attacker, via a crafted X.509 certificate, to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2015-0288)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in the PKCS#7 parsing code due to incorrect handling of missing outer 'ContentInfo'. This allows a remote attacker, using an application that processes arbitrary PKCS#7 data and providing malformed data with ASN.1 encoding, to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2015-0289)

  - A flaw exists with the 'multiblock' feature in the 'ssl3_write_bytes()' function due to improper handling of certain non-blocking I/O cases. This allows a remote attacker to cause failed connections or a segmentation fault, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2015-0290)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists when handling clients attempting to renegotiate using an invalid signature algorithm extension. A remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2015-0291)

  - A flaw exists in servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites due to improper implementation of SSLv2. A remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message, to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2015-0293)

  - A flaw exists in the 'ssl3_get_client_key_exchange()' function when client authentication and an ephemeral Diffie-Hellman ciphersuite are enabled. This allows a remote attacker, via a ClientKeyExchange message with a length of zero, to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2015-1787)
