Security Bulletin
Summary
Security vulnerabilities have been discovered in OpenSSL that were reported
on June 5, 2014 by the OpenSSL Project.
Vulnerability Details
CVE-ID: CVE-2014-0224
DESCRIPTION: OpenSSL is vulnerable to a man-in-the-middle attack, caused
by the use of weak keying material in SSL/TLS clients and servers. A
remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using a specially-crafted
handshake to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks to decrypt and modify traffic.
CVSS Base Score: 5.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/93586 for the
current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:N)
CVE-ID: CVE-2014-0221
DESCRIPTION: OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a
recursion error in the DTLS client. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake,
a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the application
to crash.
CVSS Base Score: 4.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/93587 for the
current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)
CVE-ID: CVE-2014-0195
DESCRIPTION: OpenSSL is vulnerable to a buffer overflow. By sending invalid
DTLS packet fragments, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability
to overrun the client or server and execute arbitrary code on a DTLS client
or server.
CVSS Base Score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/93588 for the
current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P)
CVE-ID: CVE-2014-0198
DESCRIPTION: OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused
by a NULL pointer dereference in the do_ssl3_write() function. If
SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS is enabled, a remote attacker could exploit this
vulnerability to cause the application to crash.
CVSS Base Score: 4.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/93000 for the
current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)
CVE-ID: CVE-2010-5298
DESCRIPTION: OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a race
condition in the ssl3_read_bytes function. If SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS
is enabled, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability using an SSL
connection in a multithreaded environment to inject data into an SSL stream
and cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base Score: 4
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/92632 for the
current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:P)
CVE-ID: CVE-2014-3470
DESCRIPTION: OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the
implementation of anonymous ECDH ciphersuites. A remote attacker could
exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base Score: 4.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/93589 for the
current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)
