Subject: [RHSA-2003:062-11] Updated OpenSSL packages fix timing attack


---------------------------------------------------------------------
                   Red Hat, Inc. Red Hat Security Advisory

Synopsis:          Updated OpenSSL packages fix timing attack
Advisory ID:       RHSA-2003:062-11
Issue date:        2003-02-19
Updated on:        2003-03-06
Product:           Red Hat Linux
Keywords:          
Cross references:  
Obsoletes:         RHSA-2002:160
CVE Names:         CAN-2003-0078
---------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Topic:

Updated OpenSSL packages are available that fix a potential timing-based
attack.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Linux 6.2 - i386
Red Hat Linux 7.0 - i386
Red Hat Linux 7.1 - i386
Red Hat Linux 7.2 - i386, i686, ia64
Red Hat Linux 7.3 - i386, i686
Red Hat Linux 8.0 - i386, i686

3. Problem description:

OpenSSL is a commercial-grade, full-featured, and open source toolkit that 
implements the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer
Security (TLS v1) protocols as well as a full-strength general purpose
cryptography library.

In a paper, Brice Canvel, Alain Hiltgen, Serge Vaudenay, and Martin
Vuagnoux describe and demonstrate a timing-based attack on CBC ciphersuites
in SSL and TLS.  An active attacker may be able to use timing observations
to distinguish between two different error cases: cipher padding errors and
MAC verification errors.  Over multiple connections this can leak
sufficient information to make it possible to retrieve the plaintext of a
common, fixed block.

In order for an attack to be sucessful, an attacker must be able to act as
a man-in-the-middle to intercept and modify multiple connections, which all
involve a common fixed plaintext block (such as a password), and have good
network conditions that allow small changes in timing to be reliably
observed.

These erratum packages contain a patch provided by the OpenSSL group that
corrects this vulnerability.

Because server applications are affected by these vulnerabilities, we
advise users to restart all services that use OpenSSL functionality or
alternatively reboot their systems after installing these updates.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filenames]

where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade.  Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated.  Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated.  Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains
the desired RPMs.

Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network.  Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates.  To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
