Description

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.


1) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-1789)

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

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 perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the X509_cmp_time function in crypto/x509/x509_vfy.c. A remote attacker can trigger memory corruption and cause a denial of service condition on the target system.


2) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-1791)

CWE-ID: CWE-362 - Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in the ssl3_get_new_session_ticket function in ssl/s3_clnt.c in OpenSSL. A local user can exploit the race and cause a denial of service (double free and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by providing a NewSessionTicket during an attempt to reuse a ticket that had been obtained earlier.


3) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-1788)

CWE-ID: CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within the application in the BN_GF2m_mod_inv function in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
