    		Caldera International, Inc.  Security Advisory
    
    Subject:		Linux: multiple vulnerabilities in openssl
    Advisory number: 	CSSA-2002-033.0
    Issue date: 		2002 July 31
    Cross reference:
    ______________________________________________________________________________
    
    
    1. Problem Description
    
    	There are four remotely exploitable buffer overflows that affect
    	various OpenSSL client and server implementations. There are also
    	encoding problems in the ASN.1 library used by OpenSSL. Several
    	of these vulnerabilities could be used by a remote attacker to
    	execute arbitrary code on the target system. All could be used
    	to create denial of service.
    
    
    2. Vulnerable Supported Versions
    
    	System				Package
    	----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    	OpenLinux 3.1.1 Server		prior to openssl-0.9.6-18.i386.rpm
    					prior to openssl-devel-0.9.6-18.i386.rpm
    					prior to openssl-devel-static-0.9.6-18.i386.rpm
    
    	OpenLinux 3.1.1 Workstation	prior to openssl-0.9.6-18.i386.rpm
    					prior to openssl-devel-0.9.6-18.i386.rpm
    					prior to openssl-devel-static-0.9.6-18.i386.rpm
    
    	OpenLinux 3.1 Server		prior to openssl-0.9.6-18.i386.rpm
    					prior to openssl-devel-0.9.6-18.i386.rpm
    					prior to openssl-devel-static-0.9.6-18.i386.rpm
    
    	OpenLinux 3.1 Workstation	prior to openssl-0.9.6-18.i386.rpm
    					prior to openssl-devel-0.9.6-18.i386.rpm
    					prior to openssl-devel-static-0.9.6-18.i386.rpm
    
    
    3. Solution
    
    	The proper solution is to install the latest packages. Many
    	customers find it easier to use the Caldera System Updater, called
    	cupdate (or kcupdate under the KDE environment), to update these
    	packages rather than downloading and installing them by hand.
