An update for openssl is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

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

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

Security Fix(es) :

* A flaw was found in the way OpenSSL encoded certain ASN.1 data structures. An attacker could use this flaw to create a specially crafted certificate which, when verified or re-encoded by OpenSSL, could cause it to crash, or execute arbitrary code using the permissions of the user running an application compiled against the OpenSSL library. (CVE-2016-2108)

* Two integer overflow flaws, leading to buffer overflows, were found in the way the EVP_EncodeUpdate() and EVP_EncryptUpdate() functions of OpenSSL parsed very large amounts of input data. A remote attacker could use these flaws to crash an application using OpenSSL or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running that application. (CVE-2016-2105, CVE-2016-2106)

* It was discovered that OpenSSL leaked timing information when decrypting TLS/SSL and DTLS protocol encrypted records when the connection used the AES CBC cipher suite and the server supported AES-NI. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to retrieve plain text from encrypted packets by using a TLS/SSL or DTLS server as a padding oracle. (CVE-2016-2107)

* Several flaws were found in the way BIO_*printf functions were implemented in OpenSSL. Applications which passed large amounts of untrusted data through these functions could crash or potentially execute code with the permissions of the user running such an application. (CVE-2016-0799, CVE-2016-2842)

* A denial of service flaw was found in the way OpenSSL parsed certain ASN.1-encoded data from BIO (OpenSSL's I/O abstraction) inputs. An application using OpenSSL that accepts untrusted ASN.1 BIO input could be forced to allocate an excessive amount of data. (CVE-2016-2109)

According to its banner, the remote host is running a version of OpenSSL 1.0.2 prior to 1.0.2c. It is, therefore, affected by a remote code execution vulnerability in the ASN.1 encoder due to an underflow condition that occurs when attempting to encode the value zero represented as a negative integer. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to corrupt memory, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.

This update for libopenssl0_9_8 fixes the following issues :

  - CVE-2016-2105: EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow (bsc#977614)

  - CVE-2016-2106: EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow (bsc#977615)

  - CVE-2016-2108: Memory corruption in the ASN.1 encoder     (bsc#977617)

  - CVE-2016-2109: ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation     (bsc#976942)

  - CVE-2016-0702: Side channel attack on modular     exponentiation 'CacheBleed' (bsc#968050)

  - bsc#976943: Buffer overrun in ASN1_parse

This update for OpenSSL fixes the following security issues :

CVE-2016-2105: EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow (bsc#977614)

CVE-2016-2106: EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow (bsc#977615)

CVE-2016-2108: Memory corruption in the ASN.1 encoder (bsc#977617)

Security Fix(es) :

  - A flaw was found in the way OpenSSL encoded certain     ASN.1 data structures. An attacker could use this flaw     to create a specially crafted certificate which, when     verified or re-encoded by OpenSSL, could cause it to     crash, or execute arbitrary code using the permissions     of the user running an application compiled against the     OpenSSL library. (CVE-2016-2108)

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

  - A heap buffer overflow condition exists in the     EVP_EncodeUpdate() function within file     crypto/evp/encode.c that is triggered when handling     a large amount of input data. An unauthenticated, remote     attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service     condition. (CVE-2016-2105)

  - A heap buffer overflow condition exists in the     EVP_EncryptUpdate() function within file     crypto/evp/evp_enc.c that is triggered when handling a     large amount of input data after a previous call occurs     to the same function with a partial block. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-2106)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the     ASN.1 encoder due to an underflow condition that occurs     when attempting to encode the value zero represented as     a negative integer. An unauthenticated, remote attacker     can exploit this to corrupt memory, resulting in the     execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-2108)

  - Multiple unspecified flaws exist in the d2i BIO     functions when reading ASN.1 data from a BIO due to     invalid encoding causing a large allocation of memory.
    An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these to     cause a denial of service condition through resource     exhaustion. (CVE-2016-2109)

  - An out-of-bounds read error exists in the     X509_NAME_oneline() function within file     crypto/x509/x509_obj.c when handling very long ASN1     strings. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit     this to disclose the contents of stack memory.
    (CVE-2016-2176)

This update for compat-openssl098 fixes the following issues contained in the OpenSSL Security Advisory [26 Jan 2017] (bsc#1021641) Security issues fixed :

  - CVE-2016-8610: A remote denial of service in SSL alert     handling was fixed (bsc#1005878)

  - fix crash in openssl speed (bsc#1000677)

  - don't attempt session resumption if no ticket is present     and session ID length is zero (bsc#984663)

The remote Oracle Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2016-3558 advisory.

  - The fmtstr function in crypto/bio/b_print.c in OpenSSL 1.0.1 before 1.0.1s and 1.0.2 before 1.0.2g     improperly calculates string lengths, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (overflow     and out-of-bounds read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a long string, as demonstrated by a     large amount of ASN.1 data, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-2842. (CVE-2016-0799)

  - Integer overflow in the EVP_EncodeUpdate function in crypto/evp/encode.c in OpenSSL before 1.0.1t and     1.0.2 before 1.0.2h allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) via a     large amount of binary data. (CVE-2016-2105)

  - The AES-NI implementation in OpenSSL before 1.0.1t and 1.0.2 before 1.0.2h does not consider memory     allocation during a certain padding check, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive cleartext     information via a padding-oracle attack against an AES CBC session. NOTE: this vulnerability exists     because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2013-0169. (CVE-2016-2107)

  - The doapr_outch function in crypto/bio/b_print.c in OpenSSL 1.0.1 before 1.0.1s and 1.0.2 before 1.0.2g     does not verify that a certain memory allocation succeeds, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial     of service (out-of-bounds write or memory consumption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a     long string, as demonstrated by a large amount of ASN.1 data, a different vulnerability than     CVE-2016-0799. (CVE-2016-2842)

  - Integer overflow in the EVP_EncryptUpdate function in crypto/evp/evp_enc.c in OpenSSL before 1.0.1t and     1.0.2 before 1.0.2h allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) via a     large amount of data. (CVE-2016-2106)

  - The ASN.1 implementation in OpenSSL before 1.0.1o and 1.0.2 before 1.0.2c allows remote attackers to     execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (buffer underflow and memory corruption) via an ANY     field in crafted serialized data, aka the negative zero issue. (CVE-2016-2108)

  - The asn1_d2i_read_bio function in crypto/asn1/a_d2i_fp.c in the ASN.1 BIO implementation in OpenSSL before     1.0.1t and 1.0.2 before 1.0.2h allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption)     via a short invalid encoding. (CVE-2016-2109)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

According to its banner, the version of OpenSSL on the remote host is 1.0.1 prior to 1.0.1o, or 1.0.2 prior to 1.0.2c. It is therefore affected by an underflow condition in the ASN.1 encoder that is triggered when attempting to encode the value zero represented as a negative integer. This may allow a remote attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
