The remote service seems to be using a version of OpenSSL that is older than 0.9.6e or 0.9.7-beta3.

Such versions are affected by a buffer overflow that may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the remote host with the privileges of the application itself.

Updated OpenSSL packages are available for Red Hat Linux Advanced Server. These updates fix multiple protocol parsing bugs, which may cause a denial of service (DoS) attack or cause SSL-enabled applications to crash.

[Updated 06 Jan 2003] Added fixed packages for the ia64 architecture.

[Updated 06 Feb 2003] Added fixed packages for Advanced Workstation 2.1

OpenSSL is a commercial-grade, full-featured, and open source toolkit which implements the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) protocols as well as a full-strength general purpose cryptography library.

Portions of the SSL protocol data stream, which include the lengths of structures which are being transferred, may not be properly validated.
This may allow a malicious server or client to cause an affected application to crash or enter an infinite loop, which can be used as a denial of service (DoS) attack if the application is a server. It has not been verified if this issue could lead to further consequences such as remote code execution.

These errata packages contain a patch to correct this vulnerability.
Please note that the original patch from the OpenSSL team had a mistake in it which could possibly still allow buffer overflows to occur. This bug is also fixed in these errata packages.

NOTE :

Please read the Solution section below as it contains instructions for making sure that all SSL-enabled processes are restarted after the update is applied.

Thanks go to the OpenSSL team for providing patches for these issues.

The OpenSSL development team has announced that a security audit by A.L. Digital Ltd and The Bunker, under the DARPA CHATS program, has revealed remotely exploitable buffer overflow conditions in the OpenSSL code. Additionally, the ASN1 parser in OpenSSL has a potential DoS attack independently discovered by Adi Stav and James Yonan.

CAN-2002-0655 references overflows in buffers used to hold ASCII representations of integers on 64 bit platforms. CAN-2002-0656 references buffer overflows in the SSL2 server implementation (by sending an invalid key to the server) and the SSL3 client implementation (by sending a large session id to the client). The SSL2 issue was also noticed by Neohapsis, who have privately demonstrated exploit code for this issue. CAN-2002-0659 references the ASN1 parser DoS issue.

These vulnerabilities have been addressed for Debian 3.0 (woody) in openssl094_0.9.4-6.woody.2, openssl095_0.9.5a-6.woody.1 and openssl_0.9.6c-2.woody.1.

These vulnerabilities are also present in Debian 2.2 (potato). Fixed packages are available in openssl094_0.9.4-6.potato.2 and openssl_0.9.6c-0.potato.4.

A worm is actively exploiting this issue on internet-attached hosts;
we recommend you upgrade your OpenSSL as soon as possible. Note that you must restart any daemons using SSL. (E.g., ssh or ssl-enabled apache.) If you are uncertain which programs are using SSL you may choose to reboot to ensure that all running daemons are using the new libraries.

The version of OpenSSL installed on the remote host is prior to 0.9.6e. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 0.9.6e advisory.

  - The ASN1 library in OpenSSL 0.9.6d and earlier, and 0.9.7-beta2 and earlier, allows remote attackers to     cause a denial of service via invalid encodings. (CVE-2002-0659)

  - Buffer overflows in OpenSSL 0.9.6d and earlier, and 0.9.7-beta2 and earlier, allow remote attackers to     execute arbitrary code via (1) a large client master key in SSL2 or (2) a large session ID in SSL3.
    (CVE-2002-0656)

  - OpenSSL 0.9.6d and earlier, and 0.9.7-beta2 and earlier, does not properly handle ASCII representations of     integers on 64 bit platforms, which could allow attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2002-0655)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote host is running Oracle Application Server. It was not possible to determine its version, so the version of Oracle Application Server installed on the remote host could potentially be affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
