Packet Storm

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2012-006: Posted Jan 17, 2012; Authored by Mandriva | Site mandriva.com; Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2012-006 - The DTLS implementation in OpenSSL before 0.9.8s and 1.x before 1.0.0f performs a MAC check only if certain padding is valid, which makes it easier for remote attackers to recover plaintext via a padding oracle attack. Double free vulnerability in OpenSSL 0.9.8 before 0.9.8s, when X509_V_FLAG_POLICY_CHECK is enabled, allows remote attackers to have an unspecified impact by triggering failure of a policy check. The SSL 3.0 implementation in OpenSSL before 0.9.8s and 1.x before 1.0.0f does not properly initialize data structures for block cipher padding, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by decrypting the padding data sent by an SSL peer. The Server Gated Cryptography implementation in OpenSSL before 0.9.8s and 1.x before 1.0.0f does not properly handle handshake restarts, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via unspecified vectors. The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.; tags | advisory, remote, denial of service; systems | linux, mandriva; advisories | CVE-2011-4108, CVE-2011-4109, CVE-2011-4576, CVE-2011-4619; SHA-256 | 8546d8cc7082077b12848e834cf179f04e50bc8754ce2f0344bad607506f77b0; Download | Favorite | View
