VULNERABILITY SUMMARY
VULNERABILITY: AIX OpenSSL DTLS remote denial of service
PLATFORMS: AIX 5.2, 5.3, 6.1
SOLUTION: Apply the fix as described below.
THREAT: See below
CERT VU Number: n/a
CVE Numbers: CVE-2009-1377, CVE-2009-1378, CVE-2009-1379
DETAILED INFORMATION
I. DESCRIPTION
Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in OpenSSL, which
could be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of
service. IBM is fixing these security flaws in the AIX openssl
0.9.8.840 for AIX 5.3 and 6.1 and 0.9.8.804 for AIX 5.2 packages
| which are based on OpenSSL 0.9.8h. IBM is also fixing these
| security flaws in the AIX openssl FIPS capable images version
| 12.9.8.1101.
The dtls1_buffer_record function in ssl/d1_pkt.c in OpenSSL 0.9.8k
and earlier 0.9.8 versions allows remote attackers to cause a
denial of service (memory consumption) via a large series of
"future epoch" DTLS records that are buffered in a queue, aka
"DTLS record buffer limitation bug." (CVE-2009-1377)
Multiple memory leaks in the dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message
function in ssl/d1_both.c in OpenSSL 0.9.8k and earlier 0.9.8
versions allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(memory consumption) via DTLS records that (1) are duplicates or
(2) have sequence numbers much greater than current sequence
numbers, aka "DTLS fragment handling memory leak." (CVE-2009-1378)
Use-after-free vulnerability in the
dtls1_retrieve_buffered_fragment function in ssl/d1_both.c in
OpenSSL 1.0.0 Beta 2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
service (openssl s_client crash) and possibly have unspecified
other impact via a DTLS packet, as demonstrated by a packet from a
server that uses a crafted server certificate. (CVE-2009-1379)
II. PLATFORM VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT
To determine if your system is vulnerable, execute the following
command:
lslpp -L openssl.base
The following fileset levels are vulnerable:
AIX 6.1: all versions less than 0.9.8.840
AIX 5.3: all versions less than 0.9.8.840
AIX 5.2: all versions less than 0.9.8.804
| AIX 6.1 and 5.3: FIPS capable versions less than 12.9.8.1101
IMPORTANT: If AIX OpenSSH is in use, it must be updated to version
5.0 when updating to OpenSSL 0.9.8.840 or 0.9.8.804
AIX OpenSSH can be downloaded from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/openssh-aix
III. FIXES
A fix is available, and it can be downloaded from:
https://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/iwm/web/preLogin.do?source=aixbp
To extract the fixes from the tar file:
zcat openssl.0.9.8.840-AIX5.3_6.1.tar.Z | tar xvf -
or
zcat openssl.0.9.8.804-AIX-5.2.tar.Z | tar xvf -
| or
| zcat openssl-fips.12.9.8.1101.tar.Z | tar xvf -
IMPORTANT: If possible, it is recommended that a mksysb backup
of the system be created. Verify it is both bootable and
readable before proceeding.
To preview the fix installation:
installp -apYd . openssl
To install the fix package:
installp -aXYd . openssl
IV. WORKAROUNDS
There are no workarounds.
