-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | EnGarde Secure Linux Security Advisory May 02, 2001 | | http://www.engardelinux.org/ ESA-20010426-01 | | | | Package: openssl | | Summary: There are four potential vulnerabilities in openssl. | +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ EnGarde Secure Linux is a secure distribution of Linux that features improved access control, host and network intrusion detection, Web based secure remote management, complete e-commerce using AllCommerce, and integrated open source security tools. OVERVIEW - -------- There are four potential vulnerabilities in the version of openssl which shipped with EnGarde Secure Linux version 1.0.1. DETAIL - ------ There were four security fixes introduced into openssl 0.9.6a. However, this release also broke binary compatibility with older versions of openssl. Thanks to Nalin Dahyabhai, these changes have been backported into openssl 0.9.6. This alleviates having to release updated packages for all of the programs that depend on openssl, such as openssh. The security-related changes are (from the 0.9.6a announcement): o Security fix: change behavior of OpenSSL to avoid using environment variables when running as root. o Security fix: check the result of RSA-CRT to reduce the possibility of deducing the private key from an incorrectly calculated signature. o Security fix: prevent Bleichenbacher's DSA attack. o Security fix: Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in DH ciphersuites. SOLUTION - -------- All users running 'openssl' should upgrade to the most recent version, as outlined in this advisory.
