Mandrake Linux Advisory: openssl

Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory

Problem Description:

Two bugs were discovered in OpenSSL 0.9.6 and 0.9.7 by NISCC.
The parsing of unusual ASN.1 tag values can cause OpenSSL to crash,
which could be triggered by a remote attacker by sending a
carefully-crafted SSL client certificate to an application.
Depending upon the application targetted, the effects seen will
vary; in some cases a DoS (Denial of Service) could be performed,
in others nothing noticeable or adverse may happen. These two
vulnerabilities have been assigned CAN-2003-0543 and
CAN-2003-0544.

Additionally, NISCC discovered a third bug in OpenSSL 0.9.7.
Certain ASN.1 encodings that are rejected as invalid by the parser
can trigger a bug in deallocation of a structure, leading to a
double free. This can be triggered by a remote attacker by sending
a carefully-crafted SSL client certificate to an application. This
vulnerability may be exploitable to execute arbitrary code. This
vulnerability has been assigned CAN-2003-0545.

The packages provided have been built with patches provided by
the OpenSSL group that resolve these issues.

A number of server applications such as OpenSSH and Apache that
make use of OpenSSL need to be restarted after the update has been
applied to ensure that they are protected from these issues. Users
are encouraged to restart all of these services or reboot their
systems.
