+ <title>OpenSSL: Denial of Service</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ Two vulnerabilities might allow for a Denial of Service of daemons using
+ OpenSSL.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ OpenSSL is an Open Source toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer
+ (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) as well as a general
+ purpose cryptography library.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Ossi Herrala and Jukka Taimisto of Codenomicon discovered two
+ vulnerabilities:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ A double free() call in the TLS server name extension (CVE-2008-0891).
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The OpenSSL client code does not properly handle servers that omit the
+ Server Key Exchange message in the TLS handshake (CVE-2008-1672).
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could connect to a vulnerable server, or entice a
+ daemon to connect to a malicious server, causing a Denial of Service of
+ the daemon in both cases.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All OpenSSL users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=dev-libs/openssl-0.9.8g-r2&quot;</code>
