Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.
1) Resource management error
EUVDB-ID: #VU1974
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-2016-2179
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 in the Datagram TLS (DTLS) implementation. A remote attacker can initiate and maintain multiple crafted DTLS sessions simultaneously and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
MitigationInstall update from vendor's website.

Q & A
Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?
Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.
Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?
No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.
2) Input validation error
EUVDB-ID: #VU1975
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-2016-2181
CWE-ID:
CWE-20 - Improper input validation
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input within the Anti-Replay feature in the DTLS implementation when using a new epoch number in conjunction with a large sequence number. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack (false-positive packet drops) via spoofed DTLS records.

3) Out-of-bounds read
EUVDB-ID: #VU814
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-2016-6302
CWE-ID:
CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition when handling SHA512 TLS session tickets. A remote attacker can send specially crafted packets to the system, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

4) Denial of service
EUVDB-ID: #VU816
Risk: Low
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-2016-6306
CWE-ID:
CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated user to cause DoS conditions on the target system.
The weakess exists due insufficient length validation of certain TLS/SSL protocol handshake messages. By causing out-of-bounds read error attackers can trigger the affected service deny.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability will result in denial of service on the vulnerable system.

5) Information disclosure
EUVDB-ID: #VU370
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 5.3 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2016-2183
CWE-ID:
CWE-327 - Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to decrypt transmitted data.
The vulnerability exists due to remote user's ability to control the network and capture long duration 3DES CBC mode encrypted session during which he can see a part of the text. In case of repeated sending the attacker can read the part and reconstruct the whole text.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to decode transmitted data. This vulnerability is known as SWEET32.
