EulerOS 2.0 SP5 : openssl098e (EulerOS-SA-2021-1221)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 146107

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the version of the openssl098e package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

 - The OpenSSL toolkit provides support for secure communications between machines. OpenSSL includes a certificate management tool and shared libraries which provide various cryptographic algorithms and protocols.Security Fix(es):While parsing an IPAddressFamily extension in an X.509 certificate, it is possible to do a one-byte overread. This would result in an incorrect text display of the certificate.
 This bug has been present since 2006 and is present in all versions of OpenSSL before 1.0.2m and 1.1.0g.(CVE-2017-3735)

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

Solution

Update the affected openssl098e package.
