Synopsis
========
OpenSSL fails to properly validate PKCS #1 v1.5 signatures.
Background
==========
OpenSSL is a toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer, Transport
Layer Security protocols and a general-purpose cryptography library.
The x86 emulation base libraries for AMD64 contain a vulnerable version
of OpenSSL.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 openssl < 0.9.7k >= 0.9.7k
2 emul-x86-linux-baselibs < 2.5.2 >= 2.5.2
-------------------------------------------------------------------
# Package 2 [app-emulation/emul-x86-linux-baselibs] only applies
to AMD64 users.
NOTE: Any packages listed without architecture tags apply to all
architectures...
-------------------------------------------------------------------
2 affected packages
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Description
===========
Daniel Bleichenbacher discovered that it might be possible to forge
signatures signed by RSA keys with the exponent of 3.
Impact
======
Since several CAs are using an exponent of 3 it might be possible for
an attacker to create a key with a false CA signature.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All OpenSSL users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/openssl-0.9.7k"
All AMD64 x86 emulation base libraries users should upgrade to the
latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-emulation/emul-x86-linux-baselibs-2.5.2"
References
==========
[ 1 ] CVE-2006-4339
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-4339
Availability
============
