CVE Reference:
CVE-2006-2937, CVE-2006-2940, CVE-2006-3738, CVE-2006-4343
(Links to External Site)
|
Date: May 8 2008
|
Impact:
Denial of service via network, Execution of arbitrary code via network, User access via network
|
Fix Available: Yes Vendor Confirmed: Yes
|
Version(s): prior to 0.9.7l, 0.9.8d
|
Description:
Several vulnerabilities were reported in OpenSSL. A remote user can cause denial of service conditions. A remote user can execute arbitrary code on the target system.
A remote user can send specially crafted, invalid ASN.1 structures to trigger an infinite loop [CVE-2006-2937]. As a result, the process will consume excessive system memory. Versions prior to 0.9.7 are not affected.
A remote user can use certain types of public keys to cause the target system to take a disproportionate amount of time to process [CVE-2006-2940].
Dr. S. N. Henson developed the ASN.1 test suite for NISCC that uncovered these denial of service vulnerabilities.
A user can send a specially crafted list of ciphers to an application that uses the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function to trigger a buffer overflow and potentially execute arbitrary code [CVE-2006-3738]. The vendor credits Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry of the Google Security Team with reporting this vulnerability.
A remote server can cause a connected SSLv2 client to crash [CVE-2006-4343]. The vendor credits Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry of the Google Security Team with reporting this vulnerability.
|
Impact:
A remote user can execute arbitrary code on the target system.
A remote user can cause denial of service conditions.

Abstract
========
There are multiple issues with OpenSSL supplied with the NetBSD 3.x releases.
An audit of previously released security issues known to impact OpenSSL
highlighted, that while all issues had been fixed in the CVS branches, security
advisories detailing these issues has not been released. This advisory
details the known OpenSSL issues in the NetBSD 3.x releases.
These vulnerabilities have been assigned CVE-2006-2937, CVE-2006-2940,
CVE-2006-3738, CVE-2006-4343 and CVE-2007-5135.
Technical Details
=================
* CVE-2006-2937 and CVE-2006-2940: ASN.1 Denial of Service Attacks
A malformed ASN.1 structure could allow an attacker to cause a
denial of service condition by triggering a mishandled error.
Certain values in X.509 certificates could take additional time to
process when using RSA signature verification.
* CVE-2006-3738: SSL_get_shared_ciphers() buffer overflow
An attacker could use the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function in order
to trigger a buffer overflow.
* CVE-2006-4343: SSLv2 Client Crash
A malicious server accepting SSLv2 connections could cause the connecting
client to crash.
* CVE-2007-5135: SSL_get_shared_ciphers() off-by-one error
An additional issue was found in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() after the fix
for CVE-2006-3738 was applied. This may allow remote attackers to
trigger a one-byte buffer overflow.
Solutions and Workarounds
=========================
As this advisory covers multiple issues the following table can be used
to identify which NetBSD releases are impacted by the individual issues:
CVE Number Branches Impacted Fix date Releases Impacted
CVE-2006-2937 3, 3-0 06/10/2006 3.0, 3.0.1
CVE-2006-2940 3, 3-0 06/10/2006 3.0, 3.0.1
CVE-2006-3738 3, 3-0 06/10/2006 3.0, 3.0.1
CVE-2006-4343 3, 3-0 06/10/2006 3.0, 3.0.1
CVE-2007-5135 3, 3-0, 3-1 19/12/2007 3.*, 3.0.*, 3.1.*
The following instructions describe how to upgrade your OpenSSL
binaries by updating your source tree and rebuilding and
installing a new version of OpenSSL.
* NetBSD 3.*:
Systems running NetBSD 3.* sources dated from before
2007-12-19 should be upgraded from NetBSD 3.* sources dated
2007-12-20 or later.
The following files/directories need to be updated from the
netbsd-3, netbsd-3-0 or netbsd-3-1 branches:
crypto/dist/openssl/crypto/asn1/tasn_dec.c
