Debian DSA-4475-1 : openssl - security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 126392

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Joran Dirk Greef discovered that overly long nonces used with ChaCha20-Poly1305 were incorrectly processed and could result in nonce reuse. This doesn't affect OpenSSL-internal uses of ChaCha20-Poly1305 such as TLS.

Solution

Upgrade the openssl packages.

For the stable distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed in version 1.1.0k-1~deb9u1. This DSA also upgrades openssl1.0 (which itself is not affected by CVE-2019-1543 ) to 1.0.2s-1~deb9u1
