Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU70419
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2015-1789
CWE-ID:
CWE-119 - Memory corruption
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe 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.
MitigationInstall update from vendor's website.

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.
2) Race condition
EUVDB-ID: #VU77184
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 3.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2015-1791
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe 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
EUVDB-ID: #VU70417
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 4.6 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2015-1788
CWE-ID:
CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe 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.
