CVE-ID: CVE-2003-0543

CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to an integer overflow in OpenSSL 0.9.6 and 0.9.7. A remote unauthenticated attacker can cause a denial of service via an SSL client certificate with certain ASN.1 tag values.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in cause a denial of service.

2) Improper input validation

EUVDB-ID: #VU248

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 1.2 [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:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2003-0544

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect tracking of the number of characters in certain ASN.1 inputs. A remote unauthenticated attacker can cause a denial of service by sending an SSL client certificate that causes OpenSSL to read past the end of a buffer when the long form is used.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in a denial of service.

Mitigation

Update the affected package to version: 0.9.6c-2.woody.4, 0.9.7c-1
