Security Bulletin: Vulnerability in OpenSSL affects AIX (CVE-2017-3735)
===============================================================================
SUMMARY:
There is a vulnerability in OpenSSL used by AIX.
===============================================================================
VULNERABILITY DETAILS:
CVEID: CVE-2017-3735
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2017-3735
https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2017-3735
DESCRIPTION: If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily
extension, OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most
likely result could be an erroneous display of the certificate in
text format.
CVSS Base Score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See
https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/131047 for the
current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector:(CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N)
AFFECTED PRODUCTS AND VERSIONS:
AIX 5.3, 6.1, 7.1, 7.2
VIOS 2.2.x
The following fileset levels are vulnerable:
key_fileset = osrcaix
Fileset Lower Level Upper Level KEY
------------------------------------------------------
openssl.base 1.0.2.500 1.0.2.1100 key_w_fs
openssl.base 20.13.102.1000 20.13.102.1100 key_w_fs
Note:
A. 0.9.8, 1.0.1 OpenSSL versions are out-of-support. Customers are
advised to upgrade to currently supported OpenSSL 1.0.2 version.
B. Latest level of OpenSSL fileset is available from the web download site:
https://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/iwm/web/reg/download.do?source=aixbp&lang=en_US&S_PKG=openssl&cp=UTF-8
To find out whether the affected filesets are installed on your systems,
refer to the lslpp command found in the AIX user's guide.
Example: lslpp -L | grep -i openssl.base
REMEDIATION:
FIXES
A fix is available, and it can be downloaded from
https://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/iwm/web/reg/download.do?source=aixbp&lang=en_US&S_PKG=openssl&cp=UTF-8
To extract the fixes from the tar file:
For Openssl 1.0.2m version -
zcat openssl-1.0.2.1300.tar.Z | tar xvf
For Openssl fips 1.0.2m version -
zcat openssl-20.13.102.1300.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.
Note that all the previously reported security vulnerability fixes
are also included in above mentioned fileset level. Please refer to
the readme file (provided along with the fileset) for the complete
list of vulnerabilities fixed.
To preview the fix installation:
installp -apYd . openssl
To install the fix package:
installp -aXYd . openssl
