-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 IBM SECURITY ADVISORY First Issued: Tues Feb 25 14:07:48 CDT 2014 | Updated: Mon Mar 3 11:46:39 CDT 2014 | Update: Clarified vulnerable filesets The most recent version of this document is available here: http://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/efixes/security/openssl_advisory6.asc https://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/efixes/security/openssl_advisory6.asc ftp://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/efixes/security/openssl_advisory6.asc =============================================================================== VULNERABILITY SUMMARY VULNERABILITY: Multiple OpenSSL vulnerabilities PLATFORMS: AIX 5.3, 6.1 and 7.1 VIOS 2.X SOLUTION: Apply the fix as described below. THREAT: See below CVE Numbers: CVE-2013-4353 CVE-2013-6450 CVE-2013-6449 Reboot required? NO Workarounds? NO Protected by FPM? NO Protected by SED? NO =============================================================================== DETAILED INFORMATION I. DESCRIPTION (From cve.mitre.org) CVE-2013-4353 A carefully crafted invalid TLS handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception. A malicious server could use this flaw to crash a connecting client. This issue only affected OpenSSL 1.0.1 versions. CVE-2013-6450 A flaw in DTLS handling can cause an application using OpenSSL and DTLS to crash. This is not a vulnerability for OpenSSL prior to 1.0.0. OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the failure to properly maintain data structures for digest and encryption contexts by the DTLS retransmission implementation. A remote attacker could exploit this i vulnerability to cause the daemon to crash. CVE-2013-6449 A flaw in OpenSSL can cause an application using OpenSSL to crash when using TLS version 1.2. This issue only affected OpenSSL 1.0.1 versions. OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error in the ssl_get_algorithm2 function. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using specially-crafted traffic from a TLS 1.2 client to cause the daemon to crash. II.

PLATFORM VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT The following fileset levels are vulnerable: | AIX 7.1, 6.1, 5.3: all versions equal to 1.0.1.500 | VIOS 2.X: all versions equal to 1.0.1.500 IMPORTANT: If AIX OpenSSH is in use, it must be updated to version OpenSSH 6.0 or later, depending on the OpenSSL version according to following compatibility matrix: AIX OpenSSL OpenSSH ------------------------------------------------------------------ 5.3,6.1,7.1 OpenSSL 1.0.1.501 OpenSSH 6.0.0.6103 (Available) VIOS OpenSSL OpenSSH ------------------------------------------------------------------ 2.X OpenSSL 1.0.1.501 OpenSSH 6.0.0.6103 (Available) Note: To find out whether the affected filesets are installed on your systems, refer to the lslpp command found in AIX user's guide. AIX OpenSSH can be downloaded from: OpenSSH 6.0: http://sourceforge.net/projects/openssh-aix OpenSSH 6.0.0.6103 https://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/iwm/web/preLogin.do?source=aixbp IV. FIXES A fix is available, and it can be downloaded from: https://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/iwm/web/preLogin.do?source=aixbp To extract the fixes from the tar file: zcat openssl-1.0.1.501.tar.Z | tar xvf - IMPORTANT: If possible, it is recommended that a mksysb backup of the system be created. Verify it is both bootable and readable before proceeding. To preview the fix installation: installp -apYd . openssl To install the fix package: installp -aXYd . openssl V. WORKAROUNDS There are no workarounds. VI.
