RHEL 5 : openssl (Unpatched Vulnerability)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 199355

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat 5 host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities that will not be patched.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

 - openssl: doapr_outch function does not verify that certain memory allocation succeeds (CVE-2016-2842)

 - Rejected reason: DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER. ConsultIDs: CVE-2006-7250, CVE-2012-1410. Reason: this candidate was intended for one issue, but CVE users may have associated it with multiple unrelated issues.
 Notes: All CVE users should consult CVE-2006-7250 for the OpenSSL candidate or CVE-2012-1410 for the Kadu candidate. All references and descriptions in this candidate have been removed to prevent accidental usage (CVE-2006-7248)

 - The mime_hdr_cmp function in crypto/asn1/asn_mime.c in OpenSSL 0.9.8t and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted S/MIME message. (CVE-2006-7250)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

Solution

The vendor has acknowledged the vulnerabilities but no solution has been provided. Refer to the vendor for remediation guidance.
