Topic: Updated OpenSSL packages that fix ASN.1 parsing vulnerabilities are now available for Red Hat Linux versions 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, and 8.0. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Linux 7.1 - i386 Red Hat Linux 7.1 for iSeries (64 bit) - ppc Red Hat Linux 7.1 for pSeries (64 bit) - ppc Red Hat Linux 7.2 - i386, i686, ia64 Red Hat Linux 7.3 - i386, i686 Red Hat Linux 8.0 - i386, i686 3. Problem description: OpenSSL is a commercial-grade, full-featured, open source toolkit that implements Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) protocols, as well as a full-strength general purpose cryptography library. NISCC testing of implementations of the SSL protocol uncovered two bugs in OpenSSL 0.9.6 and OpenSSL 0.9.7. The parsing of unusual ASN.1 tag values can cause OpenSSL to crash. A remote attacker could trigger this bug by sending a carefully-crafted SSL client certificate to an application. The effects of such an attack vary depending on the application targetted; against Apache the effects are limited, as the attack would only cause child processes to die and be replaced. An attack against other applications that use OpenSSL could result in a Denial of Service. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CAN-2003-0543 and CAN-2003-0544 to this issue. Red Hat Linux versions 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, and 8.0 contain OpenSSL 0.9.6 and are therefore vulnerable to this issue. These erratum packages contain a patch provided by the OpenSSL group that protects against this issue. Because server applications are affected by this issue, users are advised to either restart all services that use OpenSSL functionality or reboot their systems after installing these updates. Red Hat would like to thank NISCC and Stephen Henson for their work on this vulnerability. These packages also include a patch from OpenSSL 0.9.6f which removes the calls to abort the process in certain circumstances. Red Hat would like to thank Patrik Hornik for notifying us of this issue. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied. To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run: rpm -Fvh [filenames] where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the desired RPMs. Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system. If up2date fails to connect to Red Hat Network due to SSL Certificate Errors, you need to install a version of the up2date client with an updated certificate. The latest version of up2date is available from the Red Hat FTP site and may also be downloaded directly from the RHN website: https://rhn.redhat.com/help/latest-up2date.pxt 5.
