Description

The WinSCP program installed on the remote host is version 4.3.8, 4.3.9, 4.4.0, or 5.x prior to 5.5.5. It therefore contains a bundled version of OpenSSL prior to 1.0.1i which is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- A memory double-free error exists related to handling DTLS packets that allows denial of service attacks.
(CVE-2014-3505)

- An unspecified error exists related to handling DTLS handshake messages that allows denial of service attacks due to large amounts of memory being consumed.
(CVE-2014-3506)

- A memory leak error exists related to handling specially crafted DTLS packets that allows denial of service attacks. (CVE-2014-3507)

- An error exists related to 'OBJ_obj2txt' and the pretty printing 'X509_name_*' functions which leak stack data, resulting in an information disclosure. (CVE-2014-3508)

- An error exists related to 'ec point format extension' handling and multithreaded clients that allows freed memory to be overwritten during a resumed session.
(CVE-2014-3509)

- A NULL pointer dereference error exists related to handling anonymous ECDH cipher suites and crafted handshake messages that allow denial of service attacks against clients. (CVE-2014-3510)

- An error exists related to handling fragmented 'ClientHello' messages that allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force usage of TLS 1.0 regardless of higher protocol levels being supported by both the server and the client. (CVE-2014-3511)

- A buffer overflow error exists related to handling Secure Remote Password protocol (SRP) parameters having unspecified impact. (CVE-2014-3512)

- A NULL pointer dereference error exists related to handling Secure Remote Password protocol (SRP) that allows a malicious server to crash a client, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2014-5139)
