Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2013-12-06 10:58:09 UTC
From ${URL} :

A posting to Full Disclosure mailing list (oss-sec) indicated that multiple flaws (null pointer 
dereference, off-by-one and others resulting in DoS/crash) were in BN (multiprecision integer arithmetics) 
part of openssl between 0.9.8k-1.0.1e and included proof of concept code. It is not yet certain whether 
these are legitimate flaws or not.

@maintainer(s): after the bump, in case we need to stabilize the package, please let us know if it is ready for the stabilization or not.

RedHat does not consider this a security bug c.f. comment 2 and 3 of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1038999 . 

@Security: I tend to agree and propose closing it accordingly. Other opinions?
Comment 2 Kristian Fiskerstrand (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-09-10 21:30:39 UTC
@maintainers: What is your opinion as to the classification of this as a security bug? I propose closing it as invalid, and will do so if there is no objection in 14 days.
Comment 3 Yury German Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev 2014-10-05 19:42:59 UTC
With a month passed and no comments, I agree with K_F. Closing the bug. 

If there are any other opinions please advise.
