Description Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-08-29 11:53:16 UTC
Hi there, a review of openssl-0.9.8a revealed some security issues.

A buffer overflow exists in the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() utility
function, used to generate human readable strings from the list of
shared ciphers supported on an SSL connection. A web search suggests
at least exim, mysql, openssl(1) and psybnc are using this function
and may be affected.

char *SSL_get_shared_ciphers(const SSL *s,char *buf,int len) {
...
 for (i=0; i<sk_SSL_CIPHER_num(sk); i++)
   {
   /* Decrement for either the ':' or a '\0' */
   len--;                        <------------ b
   c=sk_SSL_CIPHER_value(sk,i);
   for (cp=c->name; *cp; )
     {
     if (len-- == 0)          <------------ a
       {
       *p='\0';
       return(buf);
       }
     else
       *(p++)= *(cp++);
     }
   *(p++)=':';
   }
 p[-1]='\0';
 return(buf);
 }

In the code above, if at the location marked a `len` is 1, len will be
decremented to zero, a character will be copied to the destination
buffer and then at location b len will be decremented again to -1, and
thus not satisfying the end condition `len == 0`.

An attacker could send a list of ciphers (you can send a long list of
the same cipher to pad up to the boundary) and then by careful
selection of the final ciphers overrun the buffer with data. Although
it wouldnt be easy (as you have to choose from the characters in the
list of available ciphers, or ':', or '\0'), this is clearly going to
be exploitable in some situations.

A denial of service was discovered in the sslv2 client code, where a
missing check for NULL could allow a malicious ssl server to crash a
connecting client.

The following perl command can be used to reproduce this issue,
followed by `wget https://localhost/`

# perl -e 'print "\x80\xec\x04\x4d\x00\x00\x02","\x00"x"5","A"x"512"'
| nc -lp 443


If there are no objections I'll suggest 5th September as an embargo date.

Thanks, Tavis.

Comment 2 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2006-08-30 07:49:32 UTC
0.9.7j is affected as well (we dont have 0.9.8x in ~arch yet)
Comment 3 Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-09-13 23:41:20 UTC
SpanKY do we want pretesting of this one or are we waiting for an upstream release?
Comment 4 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2006-09-18 07:15:44 UTC
is upstream aware of the issue ?  i havent contacted them at all
Comment 5 Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-09-18 20:54:07 UTC
Upstream is informed about the issue.
Comment 6 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2006-09-28 06:47:07 UTC
openssl-0.9.7l and openssl-0.9.8d in portage

advisory public at http://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20060928.txt

arches, please test and mark stable if possible...
Comment 8 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-09-28 08:54:57 UTC
Which? 7j or 8d? or both?
Comment 9 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-09-28 09:04:17 UTC
err... 7l... not 7j...
Comment 10 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2006-09-28 09:12:49 UTC
ideally you'd do both
Comment 11 Bo Ørsted Andresen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-09-28 09:34:56 UTC
I have tested:
dev-libs/openssl-0.9.7l USE="test zlib -bindist -emacs (-sse2%*)"
dev-libs/openssl-0.9.8d USE="sse2 test zlib -bindist -emacs":

The following applies to both of them:
1) emerges fine
2) passes test suite
3) passes collision test
4) works with openssh

Comment 14 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-09-28 11:12:11 UTC
Stable on amd64/x86.. thanks AT's!
Comment 15 Jason Wever (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-09-28 11:31:17 UTC
SPARC stable on both versions.
Comment 16 Gustavo Zacarias (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-09-28 14:59:02 UTC
hppa stable on both, 0.9.8d looks sane, otherwise... shoot me.
Comment 17 Tobias Scherbaum (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-09-28 15:09:31 UTC
ppc stable
Comment 18 Markus Rothe (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-09-28 22:23:38 UTC
as ranger said in comment #12 he marked 0.9.7l stable on ppc64. For now we (ppc64) will stick with 0.9.7 series until last issues with .8 are fixed (toolchain specific).

removing ppc64 from CC.
Comment 19 Fernando J. Pereda (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-09-30 15:04:59 UTC
Done for alpha.
Comment 20 Raphael Marichez (Falco) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-10-13 08:30:09 UTC
errr.... what about app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs? CCing amd64@
Comment 21 Raphael Marichez (Falco) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-10-16 02:19:44 UTC
is app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs also vulnerable to these issues ?

The last time we upgraded openssl for a security reason, emul-linux-x86-baselibs was also concerned.
Comment 22 Simon Stelling (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-10-16 02:35:29 UTC
Latest stable baselibs contains dev-libs/openssl-0.9.8c, so yes, we're vulnerable.  Herbs is working on this already, AFAIK.
Comment 23 Raphael Marichez (Falco) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-10-17 01:03:15 UTC
OK thank you. I update the glsa draft and we'll wait until this package is updated before sending it.
Comment 24 Raphael Marichez (Falco) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-10-20 01:05:30 UTC
Ping Herbs / amd64 team ? Tell me if this will be long, thus we will probably send a GLSA for openssl only without app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs, thanks
Comment 25 Simon Stelling (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-10-24 02:40:44 UTC

I think we will need a seperate GLSA. I repeatedly tried to ping Herbs without success, but for this update a whole bunch of other libs included in the emul-packages must be rebuilt, so this is not a trivial change which I'd rather let Herbs do.

OK. I open a new bug to handle emul-linux-x86-baselibs.
