CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------

PACKAGE   : openssl
SUMMARY   : OpenSSL library vulnerabilities
DATE      : 2003-04-10 17:06:00
ID        : CLA-2003:625
RELEVANT
RELEASES  : 6.0, 7.0, 8

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------

DESCRIPTION
 OpenSSL[1] implements the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and
 Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) protocols as well as full-strength
 general purpose cryptography functions. It is used (as a library) by
 several projects, like Apache, OpenSSH, Bind, OpenLDAP and many
 others clients and servers programs.
 
 This OpenSSL update addresses the issues outlined below:
 
 1) Klima-Pokorny-Rosa attack (CAN-2003-0131)[2][3]
 Vlastimil Klima, Ondrej Pokorny and Tomas Rosa published[6] a paper
 where they present an extension to the Bleichenbacher attack 
 on RSA with PKCS #1 v1.5 padding as used in SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0. This
 vulnerability would allow a remote attacker to perform a single RSA
 private key operation on a ciphertext of his/her choice using the
 server's RSA key after analysing the server's behaviour with a large
 number of specially crafted connections.
 
 2) Timing attack (CAN 2003-147)[4][5]
 D. Boneh and D. Brumley published[7] a paper in which they
 demonstrate that remote timing attacks are possible and practical
 against OpenSSL and derived libraries. They successfully extracted
 private keys from a webserver in a local network. In order to prevent
 such attacks, a technique known as RSA blinding has been turned on by
 default in OpenSSL.
 
 Additionally, some smaller fixes from newer versions of OpenSSL have
 been included in the packages provided via this update.


SOLUTION
 It is recommended that all users upgrade their openssl packages.
 
 Please note that it is necessary to restart services which use the
 library (such as the apache web server with SSL enabled) so that the
 new, fixed, version is used. A list of such applications can be
 obtained after the upgrade with the following command:
 
 lsof | grep libssl
 
 The first column will contain the name of the application that needs
 to be restarted. If there is any doubt about which application has to
 be restarted or how to do it, we recommend that the system be
 rebooted.
