OpenSSL was updated to fix various security issues.

Following security issues were fixed :

  - CVE-2015-0209: A Use After Free following     d2i_ECPrivatekey error was fixed which could lead to     crashes for attacker supplied Elliptic Curve keys. This     could be exploited over SSL connections with client     supplied keys.

  - CVE-2015-0286: A segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp was     fixed that could be exploited by attackers when e.g.
    client authentication is used. This could be exploited     over SSL connections.

  - CVE-2015-0287: A ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption     was fixed. This problem can not be exploited over     regular SSL connections, only if specific client     programs use specific ASN.1 routines.

  - CVE-2015-0288: A X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer     dereference was fixed, which could lead to crashes. This     function is not commonly used, and not reachable over     SSL methods.

  - CVE-2015-0289: Several PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences     were fixed, which could lead to crashes of programs     using the PKCS7 APIs. The SSL apis do not use those by     default.

  - CVE-2015-0292: Various issues in base64 decoding were     fixed, which could lead to crashes with memory     corruption, for instance by using attacker supplied PEM     data.

  - CVE-2015-0293: Denial of service via reachable assert in     SSLv2 servers, could be used by remote attackers to     terminate the server process. Note that this requires     SSLv2 being allowed, which is not the default.

  - CVE-2009-5146: A memory leak in the TLS hostname     extension was fixed, which could be used by remote     attackers to run SSL services out of memory.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
