Description
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2014-3566)
CWE-ID: CWE-327 - Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:A/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.
The vulnerability exists due to usage of insecure SSLv3 protocol in OpenSSL. A remote attacker can force the current connection between user and server to be downgraded to SSLv3 protocol and then use padding-oracle attack on Cypher-block chaining (CBC) mode to decrypt encrypted communication.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to read encrypted communications in clear text.
Note: The vulnerability is known as POODLE.
2) Session Ticket Memory Leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2014-3567)
CWE-ID: CWE-401 - Missing release of memory after effective lifetime
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to an error when handling integrity of session tickets in OpenSSL. A remote attacker can send a large number of invalid session tickets and cause denial of service conditions.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
