Note that OpenSSH is not affected by this issue, as it does not use the OpenSSL ASN.1 decoder. Technical Details ================= http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/339623/2003-09-27/2003-10-03/0 http://www.uniras.gov.uk/vuls/2003/006489/openssl.htm http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-0545 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-0543 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-0544 Solutions and Workarounds ========================= A rebuild of libcrypto and libssl is necessary. If you have installed any program that statically links one of those libraries, it must be rebuilt too. If you have daemons that use those libraries, any running instances must be restarted. A reboot after replacing libcrypto/libssl is recommended. The following instructions describe how to upgrade your libcrypto/libssl binaries by updating your source tree and rebuilding and installing a new version of libcrypto/libssl. * NetBSD-current: Systems running NetBSD-current dated from before 2003-10-02 should be upgraded to NetBSD-current dated 2003-10-03 or later. The following directories need to be updated from the netbsd-current CVS branch (aka HEAD): crypto/dist/openssl To update from CVS, re-build, and re-install libcrypto and libssl: # cd src # cvs update -d -P crypto/dist/openssl # cd lib/libcrypto # make USETOOLS=no cleandir dependall # make USETOOLS=no install # cd ../../lib/libssl # make USETOOLS=no cleandir dependall # make USETOOLS=no install * NetBSD 1.6, 1.6.1: The binary distribution of NetBSD 1.6 and 1.6.1 are vulnerable. Systems running NetBSD 1.6 sources dated from before 2003-10-02 should be upgraded from NetBSD 1.6 sources dated 2003-10-03 or later. NetBSD 1.6.2 will include the fix. The following directories need to be updated from the netbsd-1-6 CVS branch: crypto/dist/openssl To update from CVS, re-build, and re-install libcrypto and libssl: # cd src # cvs update -d -P -r netbsd-1-6 crypto/dist/openssl # cd lib/libcrypto # make USETOOLS=no cleandir dependall # make USETOOLS=no install # cd ../../lib/libssl # make USETOOLS=no cleandir dependall # make USETOOLS=no install * NetBSD 1.5, 1.5.1, 1.5.2, 1.5.3: The binary distribution of NetBSD 1.5 to 1.5.3 are vulnerable. Systems running NetBSD 1.5, 1.5.1, 1.5.2, or 1.5.3 sources dated from before 2003-10-03 should be upgraded from NetBSD 1.5.* sources dated 2003-10-04 or later. The following directories need to be updated from the netbsd-1-5 CVS branch: crypto/dist/openssl To update from CVS, re-build, and re-install libcrypto and libssl: # cd src # cvs update -d -P -r netbsd-1-5 crypto/dist/openssl # cd lib/libcrypto # make cleandir dependall # make install # cd ../../lib/libssl # make cleandir dependall # make install Thanks To ========= Matthias Scheler Revision History ================ 2003-10-09 Initial release More Information ================ Advisories may be updated as new information becomes available.
