Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.51409
Category:Conectiva Local Security Checks
Title:Conectiva Security Advisory CLA-2003:625
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory CLA-2003:625.

OpenSSL[1] implements the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and
Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) protocols as well as full-strength
general purpose cryptography functions. It is used (as a library) by
several projects, like Apache, OpenSSH, Bind, OpenLDAP and many
others clients and servers programs.

This OpenSSL update addresses the issues outlined below:

1) Klima-Pokorny-Rosa attack (CVE-2003-0131)[2][3]
Vlastimil Klima, Ondrej Pokorny and Tomas Rosa published[6] a paper
where they present an extension to the Bleichenbacher attack
on RSA with PKCS #1 v1.5 padding as used in SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0. This
vulnerability would allow a remote attacker to perform a single RSA
private key operation on a ciphertext of his/her choice using the
server's RSA key after analysing the server's behaviour with a large
number of specially crafted connections.

2) Timing attack (CAN 2003-147)[4][5]
D. Boneh and D. Brumley published[7] a paper in which they
demonstrate that remote timing attacks are possible and practical
against OpenSSL and derived libraries. They successfully extracted
private keys from a webserver in a local network. In order to prevent
such attacks, a technique known as RSA blinding has been turned on by
default in OpenSSL.

Additionally, some smaller fixes from newer versions of OpenSSL have
been included in the packages provided via this update.


Solution:
The apt tool can be used to perform RPM package upgrades
by running 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade'
