Gentoo update for OpenSSL

1) Inadequate Encryption Strength

EUVDB-ID: #VU68116

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-2022-3358

CWE-ID: CWE-326 - Inadequate Encryption Strength

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to decrypt traffic.

The vulnerability exists due to an error in openssl implementation when handling legacy custom ciphers with NID_undef passed to the EVP_EncryptInit_ex2(), EVP_DecryptInit_ex2() and EVP_CipherInit_ex2() functions. Under certain conditions openssl can fail to select a proper cipher and use NULL instead, which corresponds to sending data in plain text.

Note, applications are only affected by this issue if they call EVP_CIPHER_meth_new() using NID_undef and subsequently use it in a call to an encryption/decryption initialisation function.

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0286

CWE-ID: CWE-843 - Type confusion

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to a type confusion error related to X.400 address processing inside an X.509 GeneralName. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger a type confusion error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack or read memory contents.

In most cases, the attack requires the attacker to provide both the certificate chain and CRL, neither of which need to have a valid signature. If the attacker only controls one of these inputs, the other input must already contain an X.400 address as a CRL distribution point, which is uncommon. As such, this vulnerability is most likely to only affect applications which have implemented their own functionality for retrieving CRLs over a network.
