Updated openssl098e packages that fix multiple security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Important 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.

A padding oracle flaw was found in the Secure Sockets Layer version 2.0 (SSLv2) protocol. An attacker can potentially use this flaw to decrypt RSA-encrypted cipher text from a connection using a newer SSL/TLS protocol version, allowing them to decrypt such connections.
This cross-protocol attack is publicly referred to as DROWN.
(CVE-2016-0800)

Note: This issue was addressed by disabling the SSLv2 protocol by default when using the 'SSLv23' connection methods, and removing support for weak SSLv2 cipher suites. For more information, refer to the knowledge base article linked to in the References section.

It was discovered that the SSLv2 servers using OpenSSL accepted SSLv2 connection handshakes that indicated non-zero clear key length for non-export cipher suites. An attacker could use this flaw to decrypt recorded SSLv2 sessions with the server by using it as a decryption oracle.(CVE-2016-0703)

It was discovered that the SSLv2 protocol implementation in OpenSSL did not properly implement the Bleichenbacher protection for export cipher suites. An attacker could use a SSLv2 server using OpenSSL as a Bleichenbacher oracle. (CVE-2016-0704)

Note: The CVE-2016-0703 and CVE-2016-0704 issues could allow for more efficient exploitation of the CVE-2016-0800 issue via the DROWN attack.

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 flaw was found in the way malicious SSLv2 clients could negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on the server. This could result in weak SSLv2 ciphers being used for SSLv2 connections, making them vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks. (CVE-2015-3197)

An updated rhev-hypervisor package that fixes several security issues, bugs, and enhancements is now available.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Important security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section.

The rhev-hypervisor package provides a Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor ISO disk image. The Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor is a dedicated Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) hypervisor. It includes everything necessary to run and manage virtual machines: a subset of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating environment and the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Agent.

Note: Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor is only available for the Intel 64 and AMD64 architectures with virtualization extensions.

A padding oracle flaw was found in the Secure Sockets Layer version 2.0 (SSLv2) protocol. An attacker could potentially use this flaw to decrypt RSA-encrypted cipher text from a connection using a newer SSL/TLS protocol version, allowing them to decrypt such connections.
This cross-protocol attack is publicly referred to as DROWN.

Note: This issue was addressed by disabling the SSLv2 protocol by default when using the 'SSLv23' connection methods, and removing support for weak SSLv2 cipher suites. For more information, refer to the knowledge base article linked in the References section.

A flaw was found in the way malicious SSLv2 clients could negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on the server. This could result in weak SSLv2 ciphers being used for SSLv2 connections, making them vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks. (CVE-2015-3197)

A side-channel attack was found that makes use of cache-bank conflicts on the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture. An attacker who has the ability to control code in a thread running on the same hyper-threaded core as the victim's thread that is performing decryption, could use this flaw to recover RSA private keys. (CVE-2016-0702)

A double-free flaw was found in the way OpenSSL parsed certain malformed DSA (Digital Signature Algorithm) private keys. An attacker could create specially crafted DSA private keys that, when processed by an application compiled against OpenSSL, could cause the application to crash. (CVE-2016-0705)

An integer overflow flaw, leading to a NULL pointer dereference or a heap-based memory corruption, was found in the way some BIGNUM functions of OpenSSL were implemented. Applications that use these functions with large untrusted input could crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-0797)

Red Hat would like to thank the OpenSSL project for reporting these issues. Upstream acknowledges Nimrod Aviram and Sebastian Schinzel as the original reporters of CVE-2016-0800 and CVE-2015-3197; Yuval Yarom (University of Adelaide and NICTA), Daniel Genkin (Technion and Tel Aviv University), Nadia Heninger (University of Pennsylvania) as the original reporters of CVE-2016-0702; Adam Langley (Google/ BoringSSL) as the original reporter of CVE-2016-0705; and Guido Vranken as the original reporter of CVE-2016-0797.

Changes to the rhev-hypervisor component :

* Previously, a race between services during boot prevented network configuration from upgrading correctly. The risk for the race has now been reduced significantly to allow the upgrade of the network configuration to complete correctly. (BZ#1194068)

* Previously, using the text user interface (TUI) to log in to the administrator account of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor failed with a Python backtrace. This update makes the 'six' module correctly importable under all circumstances, which ensures that logging in to Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor using TUI proceeds as expected. (BZ#1246836)

The version of MySQL running on the remote host is 5.6.x prior to 5.6.30. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A cipher algorithm downgrade vulnerability exists in the     bundled version of OpenSSL due to a flaw that is     triggered when handling cipher negotiation. A remote     attacker can exploit this to negotiate SSLv2 ciphers and     complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have     been disabled on the server. Note that this     vulnerability only exists if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option     has not been disabled. (CVE-2015-3197)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the Pluggable     Authentication subcomponent that allows an     unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary     code. (CVE-2016-0639)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the Federated subcomponent     that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to impact     integrity and availability. (CVE-2016-0642)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the DML subcomponent that     allows an authenticated, remote attacker to disclose     sensitive information. (CVE-2016-0643)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the FTS subcomponent that     allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a     denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-0647)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the PS subcomponent that     allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a     denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-0647)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the InnoDB subcomponent     that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a     denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-0655)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the Security: Privileges     subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote     attacker to cause a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2016-0666)

  - A key disclosure vulnerability exists in the bundled     version of OpenSSL due to improper handling of     cache-bank conflicts on the Intel Sandy-bridge     microarchitecture. An attacker can exploit this to gain     access to RSA key information. (CVE-2016-0702)

  - A double-free error exists in the bundled version of     OpenSSL due to improper validation of user-supplied     input when parsing malformed DSA private keys. A remote     attacker can exploit this to corrupt memory, resulting     in a denial of service condition or the execution of     arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-0705)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in the bundled     version of OpenSSL in the BN_hex2bn() and BN_dec2bn()     functions. A remote attacker can exploit this to trigger     a heap corruption, resulting in the execution of     arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-0797)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the bundled     version of OpenSSL due to improper handling of invalid     usernames. A remote attacker can exploit this, via a     specially crafted username, to leak 300 bytes of memory     per connection, exhausting available memory resources.
    (CVE-2016-0798)

  - Multiple memory corruption issues exist in the bundled     version of OpenSSL that allow a remote attacker to cause     a denial of service condition or the execution of     arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-0799)

  - A flaw exists in the bundled version of OpenSSL that     allows a cross-protocol Bleichenbacher padding oracle     attack known as DROWN (Decrypting RSA with Obsolete and     Weakened eNcryption). This vulnerability exists due to a     flaw in the Secure Sockets Layer Version 2 (SSLv2)     implementation, and it allows captured TLS traffic to be     decrypted. A man-in-the-middle attacker can exploit this     to decrypt the TLS connection by utilizing previously     captured traffic and weak cryptography along with a     series of specially crafted connections to an SSLv2     server that uses the same private key. (CVE-2016-0800)

  - A man-in-the-middle spoofing vulnerability exists due to     the server hostname not being verified to match a domain     name in the Subject's Common Name (CN) or SubjectAltName     field of the X.509 certificate. A man-in-the-middle     attacker can exploit this, by spoofing the TLS/SSL     server via a certificate that appears valid, to disclose     sensitive information or manipulate transmitted data.
    (CVE-2016-2047)

  - A flaw exists related to certificate validation due to     the server hostname not being verified to match a domain     name in the X.509 certificate. A man-in-the-middle     attacker can exploit this, by spoofing the TLS/SSL     server via a certificate that appears valid, to disclose     sensitive information or manipulate data.

  - An integer overflow condition exists that is triggered     due to improper validation of user-supplied input when     processing client handshakes. An authenticated, remote     attacker can exploit this to cause the server to exit,     resulting in a denial of service condition.

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists due to     overly verbose error messages returning part of the SQL     statement that produced them. An authenticated, remote     attacker can exploit this to disclose sensitive     information.

The version of OpenSSL installed on the remote AIX host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A cipher algorithm downgrade vulnerability exists due to     a flaw that is triggered when handling cipher     negotiation. A remote attacker can exploit this to     negotiate SSLv2 ciphers and complete SSLv2 handshakes     even if all SSLv2 ciphers have been disabled on the     server. Note that this vulnerability only exists if the     SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option has not been disabled.
    (CVE-2015-3197)

  - A man-in-the-middle vulnerability, known as Logjam,     exists due to a flaw in the SSL/TLS protocol. A remote     attacker can exploit this flaw to downgrade connections     using ephemeral Diffie-Hellman key exchange to 512-bit     export-grade cryptography. (CVE-2015-4000)

According to its banner, the version of OpenSSL on the remote host is 1.0.2 prior to 1.0.2f or 1.0.1 prior to 1.0.1r and is affected by a flaw that is triggered when handling cipher negotiation. This may allow a remote attacker to negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that are disabled on the server.
