OpenSSL 0.9.8 < 0.9.8f Multiple Vulnerabilities
critical Nessus Plugin ID 17760
Language:
Synopsis
The remote service is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
The version of OpenSSL installed on the remote host is prior to 0.9.8f. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 0.9.8f advisory.- Off-by-one error in the SSL_get_shared_ciphers function in OpenSSL 0.9.7 up to 0.9.7l, and 0.9.8 up to 0.9.8f, might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted packet that triggers a one- byte buffer underflow. NOTE: this issue was introduced as a result of a fix for CVE-2006-3738. As of 20071012, it is unknown whether code execution is possible. (CVE-2007-5135)
- Off-by-one error in the DTLS implementation in OpenSSL 0.9.8 before 0.9.8f allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors. (CVE-2007-4995)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
Solution
Upgrade to OpenSSL version 0.9.8f or later.See Also
