- CVEs with nessus.description==A flaw was found in the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() utility function. An attacker could send a list of ciphers to an application that used this function and overrun a buffer by a single byte (CVE-2007-5135). Few applications make use of this vulnerable function and generally it is used only when applications are compiled for debugging.
A number of possible side-channel attacks were discovered affecting OpenSSL. A local attacker could possibly obtain RSA private keys being used on a system. In practice these attacks would be difficult to perform outside of a lab environment. This update contains backported patches to mitigate these issues. (CVE-2007-3108)
As well, these updated packages fix the following bugs :
- multithreaded applications could cause a segmentation fault or deadlock when calling the random number generator initialization (RAND_poll) in the OpenSSL library, for a large number of threads simultaneously.
- in certain circumstances, if an application using the OpenSSL library reused the SSL session cache for multiple purposes (with various parameters of the SSL protocol), the session parameters could be mismatched.
- a segmentation fault could occur when a corrupted pkcs12 file was being loaded using the 'openssl pkcs12 -in [pkcs12-file]' command, where [pkcs12-file] is the pkcs12 file.
