Synopsis
========
Two vulnerabilities might allow for a Denial of Service of daemons
using OpenSSL.
Background
==========
OpenSSL is an Open Source toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) as well as a general
purpose cryptography library.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 dev-libs/openssl < 0.9.8g-r2 >= 0.9.8g-r2
< 0.9.8f
Description
===========
Ossi Herrala and Jukka Taimisto of Codenomicon discovered two
vulnerabilities:
* A double free() call in the TLS server name extension
(CVE-2008-0891).
* The OpenSSL client code does not properly handle servers that omit
the Server Key Exchange message in the TLS handshake (CVE-2008-1672).
Impact
======
A remote attacker could connect to a vulnerable server, or entice a
daemon to connect to a malicious server, causing a Denial of Service of
the daemon in both cases.
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-0.9.8g-r2"
