EulerOS 2.0 SP5 : openssl098e (EulerOS-SA-2024-2073)
medium Nessus Plugin ID 205033
Synopsis
The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.Description
According to the versions of the openssl098e package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :Issue summary: Processing a maliciously formatted PKCS12 file may lead OpenSSL to crash leading to a potential Denial of Service attack Impact summary: Applications loading files in the PKCS12 format from untrusted sources might terminate abruptly.A file in PKCS12 format can contain certificates and keys and may come from an untrusted source. The PKCS12 specification allows certain fields to be NULL, but OpenSSL does not correctly check for this case. This can lead to a NULL pointer dereference that results in OpenSSL crashing. If an application processes PKCS12 files from an untrusted source using the OpenSSL APIs then that application will be vulnerable to this issue.OpenSSL APIs that are vulnerable to this are:
PKCS12_parse(),PKCS12_unpack_p7data(), PKCS12_unpack_p7encdata(), PKCS12_unpack_authsafes() and PKCS12_newpass().We have also fixed a similar issue in SMIME_write_PKCS7(). However since this function is related to writing data we do not consider it security significant.The FIPS modules in 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0 are not affected by this issue.(CVE-2024-0727)
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS openssl098e security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
