Title: OpenSSL Denial of Service Vulnerabilities

Severity: HIGH

Description:

Three security vulnerabilities have been reported to affect OpenSSL. Each of these remotely exploitable issues may result in a denial of service in applications which use OpenSSL.

The first vulnerability is a NULL-pointer assignment that can be triggered by attackers during SSL/TLS handshake exchanges. The vulnerability is in the function 'do_change_cipher_spec()'. It is possible for a malicious host to craft handshake messages to exploit this vulnerability and crash vulnerable systems. This may be due to an attempt by the target application to write to or read from a NULL pointer. The CVE candidate name for this vulnerability is CAN-2004-0079. Versions 0.9.6c to 0.9.6k (inclusive) and from 0.9.7a to 0.9.7c (inclusive) are vulnerable.

The second vulnerability is also exploited during the SSL/TLS handshake, though only when Kerberos ciphersuites are in use. Attackers exploiting this vulnerability could initiate a handshake exchange with the target designed to trigger this vulnerability. The consequence of doing so would be an out-of-bounds read (an attempt to read an invalid memory region), ultimately resulting in a crash. The vendor has reported that this vulnerability may not be a threat to many, because it occurs only when Kerberos ciphersuites are in use, an uncommon configuration. The CVE candidate name for this vulnerability is CAN-2004-0112. Versions 0.9.7a, 0.9.7b, and 0.9.7c are affected.

This entry will be retired when individual BID records are created for each issue.

*Note: A third vulnerability included in the announcement was discovered affecting 0.9.6 and fixed in 0.9.6d. This vulnerability was due to an infinite-loop condition (that could be triggered by attackers), which potentially resulted in a denial of service. The CVE candidate name for this vulnerability is CAN-2004-0081.
