Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Information disclosure
EUVDB-ID: #VU1914
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 6.9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N/E:F/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2016-0800
CWE-ID:
CWE-327 - Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to decrypt sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to usage of weak SSLv2 protocol, which requires to send a ServerVerify message before establishing that a client possesses certain plaintext RSA data. A remote attacker can decrypt TLS ciphertext data by leveraging a Bleichenbacher RSA padding oracle.
The vulnerability is dubbed "DROWN" attack.
Install update from vendor's website.

2) Input validation error
EUVDB-ID: #VU32244
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [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-2016-0797
CWE-ID:
CWE-20 - Improper input validation
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows remote attackers to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption or NULL pointer dereference) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a long digit string that is mishandled by the (1) BN_dec2bn or (2) BN_hex2bn function, related to crypto/bn/bn.h and crypto/bn/bn_print.c.
