OpenSSL 0.9.8 < 0.9.8u / 1.0.0 < 1.0.0h Multiple Vulnerabilities

medium Log Correlation Engine Plugin ID 801067

Synopsis

The remote web server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

OpenSSL versions earlier than 0.9.8u and 1.0.0h are potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in mime_param_cmp. A specially crafted S/MIME input header could cause an application to crash during S/MIME message verification or decryption. (CVE-2012-1165)

- A weakness in the OpenSSL CMS and PKCS 7 code can be exploited using Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS 1 v1.5 RSA padding. Note that only users of CMS, PKCS 7, or S/MIME decryption operations are affected.

Solution

Upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.8u, 1.0.0h, or later.
