Description Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-05-24 12:42:25 UTC
Mark J Cox gave us a heads-up on an OpenSSL flaw possibly resulting in a Denial of Service.

Details will be disclosed to us on Monday, and are not to be publicised until Wednesday.
Comment 1 Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-05-26 11:09:31 UTC
#1
OpenSSL Server Name extension crash

Testing using the Codenomicon TLS test suite discovered a flaw in the
handling of server name extension data in OpenSSL 0.9.8f and OpenSSL
0.9.8g.  If OpenSSL has been compiled using the non-default TLS server
name extensions, a remote attacker could send a carefully crafted
packet to a server application using OpenSSL and cause a crash.
(CVE-2008-0891).

Please note this issue does not affect any other released versions of
OpenSSL, and does not affect versions compiled without TLS server name
extensions.

...

#2
OpenSSL Omit Server Key Exchange message crash

Testing using the Codenomicon TLS test suite discovered a flaw if the
'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS handshake in
OpenSSL 0.9.8f and OpenSSL 0.9.8g.  If a client connects to a
malicious server with particular cipher suites, the server could cause
the client to crash.  (CVE-2008-1672).
Comment 2 Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-05-26 11:11:17 UTC
vapier, do we support these "non-default TLS server name extensions"?

I'll attach upstream patches, please prepare ebuilds and we can do prestable testing on this bug. Do not commit anything to CVS yet.

Yes we do in 0.9.8g and 0.9.8g-r1

Thanks for the info. Since the embargo is off in ~36 hours, let me know if you intend to do prestable testing (preferred by security), or want to bump to the release directly in the tree. In case of the former, attach ebuild incorporating the patches to this bug.
Comment 7 Matthias Geerdsen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-05-28 11:29:17 UTC
This is now public via http://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20080528.txt

0.9.8h has been released to adress the issue, please bump the ebuild.
Comment 8 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-05-29 15:15:14 UTC
Well to further complicate this, I'm having several SSL services that are no longer accessible from a client using openssl 0.9.8h while they're accessible from all versions below 0.9.8h. I don't know if this relates to tlsext but infra will be interested since one of my affected services is LDAP.
Comment 9 Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-05-30 05:13:15 UTC
Doug, do you experience the same issues using 0.9.8g + the patches on the bug?
Comment 10 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2008-05-30 21:07:08 UTC
even though we have 0.9.8h, it's way too new to consider for stable ... we should apply the patches to 0.9.8g

if Doug could get back to us quickly, that'd be good ...
Comment 11 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-05-30 21:15:04 UTC
yeah yeah. Gimme a minute. I had a busy day today.
Comment 12 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-05-30 21:28:34 UTC
Alright. We look golden. My issue is obviously something in 0.9.8h not related to the security fixes. I'll just make a new bug on that to figure it out. Who knows, maybe upstream is already aware.

Anyway, I had to strip out the diff for CHANGES to get the patches to apply. But I added them to openssl-0.9.8g-r2 to the tree.
Comment 13 Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-05-31 08:02:40 UTC
Thanks for bumping!

1. Emerges on AMD64. 
2. No collisions and passes tests etc. 
3. OpenSSH still works after upgrade and OpenSSH builds against the upgraded OpenSSL package.
