CVE-2018-0739 (OpenSSL advisory) [Moderate severity] 27 March 2018:
Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition (such as can be
found in PKCS7) could eventually exceed the stack given malicious
input with excessive recursion. This could result in a Denial Of
Service attack. There are no such structures used within SSL/TLS
that come from untrusted sources so this is considered safe.
Reported by OSS-fuzz.
This patch also entirely removes support for SSLv3. The patch to
disable it didn't apply and since nobody has been using this before,
we will not compile it into OpenSSL any more.

OpenSSL Security Advisory [07 Dec 2017]
========================================
Read/write after SSL object in error state (CVE-2017-3737)
==========================================================
Severity: Moderate
OpenSSL 1.0.2 (starting from version 1.0.2b) introduced an "error state"
mechanism. The intent was that if a fatal error occurred during a handshake then
OpenSSL would move into the error state and would immediately fail if you
attempted to continue the handshake. This works as designed for the explicit
handshake functions (SSL_do_handshake(), SSL_accept() and SSL_connect()),
however due to a bug it does not work correctly if SSL_read() or SSL_write() is
called directly. In that scenario, if the handshake fails then a fatal error
will be returned in the initial function call. If SSL_read()/SSL_write() is
subsequently called by the application for the same SSL object then it will
succeed and the data is passed without being decrypted/encrypted directly from
the SSL/TLS record layer.
In order to exploit this issue an application bug would have to be present that
resulted in a call to SSL_read()/SSL_write() being issued after having already
received a fatal error.
This issue does not affect OpenSSL 1.1.0.
OpenSSL 1.0.2 users should upgrade to 1.0.2n
This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 10th November 2017 by David Benjamin
(Google). The fix was proposed by David Benjamin and implemented by Matt Caswell
of the OpenSSL development team.
rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64 (CVE-2017-3738)
=========================================================
Severity: Low
There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure
used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected.
Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect
would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely. Attacks
against DH1024 are considered just feasible, because most of the work
necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed offline.
The amount of resources required for such an attack would be significant.
However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server would have to share
the DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is no longer an option
since CVE-2016-0701.
This only affects processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX extensions
like Intel Haswell (4th generation).
Note: The impact from this issue is similar to CVE-2017-3736, CVE-2017-3732
and CVE-2015-3193.
Due to the low severity of this issue we are not issuing a new release of
OpenSSL 1.1.0 at this time. The fix will be included in OpenSSL 1.1.0h when it
becomes available. The fix is also available in commit e502cc86d in the OpenSSL
git repository.
OpenSSL 1.0.2 users should upgrade to 1.0.2n
This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 22nd November 2017 by David Benjamin
(Google). The issue was originally found via the OSS-Fuzz project. The fix was
developed by Andy Polyakov of the OpenSSL development team.
Note

Truncated packet could crash via OOB read (CVE-2017-3731)
=========================================================
Severity: Moderate
If an SSL/TLS server or client is running on a 32-bit host, and a specific
cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that server or client
to perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
For OpenSSL 1.1.0, the crash can be triggered when using CHACHA20/POLY1305;
users should upgrade to 1.1.0d
For Openssl 1.0.2, the crash can be triggered when using RC4-MD5; users who have
not disabled that algorithm should update to 1.0.2k
This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 13th November 2016 by Robert Święcki of
Google. The fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of the OpenSSL development team.
Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash (CVE-2017-3730)
===========================================================
Severity: Moderate
If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key exchange
then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a NULL pointer
leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial of Service
attack.
OpenSSL 1.1.0 users should upgrade to 1.1.0d
This issue does not affect OpenSSL version 1.0.2.
Note that this issue was fixed prior to it being recognised as a security
concern. This means the git commit with the fix does not contain the CVE
identifier. The relevant fix commit can be identified by commit hash efbe126e3.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 14th January 2017 by Guido Vranken. The
fix was developed by Matt Caswell of the OpenSSL development team.
BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64 (CVE-2017-3732)
==================================================================
Severity: Moderate
There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring procedure. No
EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA
as a result of this defect would be very difficult to perform and are not
believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just feasible (although very
difficult) because most of the work necessary to deduce information
about a private key may be performed offline. The amount of resources
required for such an attack would be very significant and likely only
accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
OpenSSL 1.1.0 users should upgrade to 1.1.0d
OpenSSL 1.0.2 users should upgrade to 1.0.2k

Böck. The fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of the OpenSSL
development team.
Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter (CVE-2015-3194)
===================================================================
Severity: Moderate
The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer dereference
if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS algorithm and absent
mask generation function parameter. Since these routines are used to verify
certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any certificate
verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any application which
performs certificate verification is vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and
servers which enable client authentication.
This issue affects OpenSSL versions 1.0.2 and 1.0.1.

Henson of the OpenSSL development team.
Race condition handling PSK identify hint (CVE-2015-3196)
=========================================================
Severity: Low
If PSK identity hints are received by a multi-threaded client then
the values are wrongly updated in the parent SSL_CTX structure. This can
result in a race condition potentially leading to a double free of the
identify hint data.
This issue was fixed in OpenSSL 1.0.2d and 1.0.1p but has not been previously
listed in an OpenSSL security advisory. This issue also affects OpenSSL 1.0.0
and has not been previously fixed in an OpenSSL 1.0.0 release.

OpenSSL Security Advisory [19 Mar 2015]
=======================================
OpenSSL 1.0.2 ClientHello sigalgs DoS (CVE-2015-0291)
=====================================================
Severity: High
If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will occur.
This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
This issue affects OpenSSL version: 1.0.2
OpenSSL 1.0.2 users should upgrade to 1.0.2a.
This issue was was reported to OpenSSL on 26th February 2015 by David Ramos
of Stanford University. The fix was developed by Stephen Henson and Matt
Caswell of the OpenSSL development team.
Reclassified: RSA silently downgrades to EXPORT_RSA [Client] (CVE-2015-0204)
============================================================================
Severity: High
This security issue was previously announced by the OpenSSL project and
classified as "low" severity. This severity rating has now been changed to
"high".
This was classified low because it was originally thought that server RSA
export ciphersuite support was rare: a client was only vulnerable to a MITM
attack against a server which supports an RSA export ciphersuite. Recent
studies have shown that RSA export ciphersuites support is far more common.
This issue affects OpenSSL versions: 1.0.1, 1.0.0 and 0.9.8.
OpenSSL 1.0.1 users should upgrade to 1.0.1k.
OpenSSL 1.0.0 users should upgrade to 1.0.0p.
OpenSSL 0.9.8 users should upgrade to 0.9.8zd.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 22nd October 2014 by Karthikeyan
Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA. The fix was developed by Stephen
Henson of the OpenSSL core team. It was previously announced in the OpenSSL
security advisory on 8th January 2015.
Multiblock corrupted pointer (CVE-2015-0290)
============================================
Severity: Moderate
OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This feature
only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES NI
instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause OpenSSL's
internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when using non-blocking
IO. Typically, when the user application is using a socket BIO for writing, this
will only result in a failed connection. However if some other BIO is used then
it is likely that a segmentation fault will be triggered, thus enabling a
potential DoS attack.
This issue affects OpenSSL version: 1.0.2
OpenSSL 1.0.2 users should upgrade to 1.0.2a.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 13th February 2015 by Daniel Danner and
Rainer Mueller. The fix was developed by Matt Caswell of the OpenSSL development
team.
Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen (CVE-2015-0207)
===================================================
Severity: Moderate
The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the initial
ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop over the call to
DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with an associated cookie. A
defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means that state is preserved in
the SSL object from one invocation to the next that can lead to a segmentation
fault. Errors processing the initial ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An
example of such an error could be that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to
connect to a DTLS1.2 only server.
This issue affects OpenSSL version: 1.0.2
OpenSSL 1.0.2 DTLS users should upgrade to 1.0.2a.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 27th January 2015 by Per Allansson. The
fix was developed by Matt Caswell of the OpenSSL development team.
Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp (CVE-2015-0286)
===================================================
Severity: Moderate
The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
This issue affects all current OpenSSL versions: 1.0.2, 1.0.1, 1.0.0 and 0.9.8.
OpenSSL 1.0.2 users should upgrade to 1.0.2a
OpenSSL 1.0.1 users should upgrade to 1.0.1m.
OpenSSL 1.0.0 users should upgrade to 1.0.0r.
OpenSSL 0.9.8 users should upgrade to 0.9.8zf.
This issue was discovered and fixed by Stephen Henson of the OpenSSL
development team.
Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters (CVE-2015-0208)
=============================================================
Severity: Moderate
The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
This issue affects OpenSSL version: 1.0.2
OpenSSL 1.0.2 users should upgrade to 1.0.2a
This issue was was reported to OpenSSL on 31st January 2015 by Brian Carpenter
and a fix developed by Stephen Henson of the OpenSSL development team.
ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption (CVE-2015-0287)
=======================================================
Severity: Moderate
Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
not affected.
This issue affects all current OpenSSL versions: 1.0.2, 1.0.1, 1.0.0
and 0.9.8.
OpenSSL 1.0.2 users should upgrade to 1.0.2a
OpenSSL 1.0.1 users should upgrade to 1.0.1m.
OpenSSL 1.0.0 users should upgrade to 1.0.0r.
OpenSSL 0.9.8 users should upgrade to 0.9.8zf.
This issue was discovered by Emilia Käsper and a fix developed by
Stephen Henson of the OpenSSL development team.
PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences (CVE-2015-0289)
===============================================
Severity: Moderate
The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo correctly.
An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
This issue affects all current OpenSSL versions: 1.0.2, 1.0.1, 1.0.0
and 0.9.8.
OpenSSL 1.0.2 users should upgrade to 1.0.2a
OpenSSL 1.0.1 users should upgrade to 1.0.1m.
OpenSSL 1.0.0 users should upgrade to 1.0.0r.

This issue was reported to OpenSSL on February 16th 2015 by Michal
Zalewski (Google) and a fix developed by Emilia Käsper of the OpenSSL
development team.
Base64 decode (CVE-2015-0292)
=============================
Severity: Moderate
A vulnerability existed in previous versions of OpenSSL related to the
processing of base64 encoded data. Any code path that reads base64 data from an
untrusted source could be affected (such as the PEM processing routines).
Maliciously crafted base 64 data could trigger a segmenation fault or memory
corruption. This was addressed in previous versions of OpenSSL but has not been
included in any security advisory until now.
This issue affects OpenSSL versions: 1.0.1, 1.0.0 and 0.9.8.
OpenSSL 1.0.1 users should upgrade to 1.0.1h.
OpenSSL 1.0.0 users should upgrade to 1.0.0m.
OpenSSL 0.9.8 users should upgrade to 0.9.8za.
The fix for this issue can be identified by commits d0666f289a (1.0.1),
84fe686173 (1.0.0) and 9febee0272 (0.9.8). This issue was originally reported by
Robert Dugal and subsequently by David Ramos.
DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers (CVE-2015-0293)
=========================================================
Severity: Moderate
A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
This issue affects all current OpenSSL versions: 1.0.2, 1.0.1, 1.0.0
and 0.9.8.
OpenSSL 1.0.2 users should upgrade to 1.0.2a
OpenSSL 1.0.1 users should upgrade to 1.0.1m.
OpenSSL 1.0.0 users should upgrade to 1.0.0r.
OpenSSL 0.9.8 users should upgrade to 0.9.8zf.
This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
(OpenSSL development team) in March 2015 and the fix was developed by
Emilia Käsper.
Empty CKE with client auth and DHE (CVE-2015-1787)
==================================================
Severity: Moderate
If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message being
sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
This issue affects OpenSSL version: 1.0.2
OpenSSL 1.0.2 users should upgrade to 1.0.2a.
This issue was discovered and the fix was developed by Matt Caswell of the
OpenSSL development team.
Handshake with unseeded PRNG (CVE-2015-0285)
============================================
Severity: Low
Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake with
an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
- The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded automatically,
and the user has not seeded manually
- A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
SSL_client_methodv23)
- A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from the
PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will have
been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the output
may be predictable.
For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will succeed on
an unpatched platform:
openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
This issue affects OpenSSL version: 1.0.2
OpenSSL 1.0.2 users should upgrade to 1.0.2a.
This issue was discovered and the fix was developed by Matt Caswell of the
OpenSSL development team.
Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error (CVE-2015-0209)
===============================================================
Severity: Low
A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function could
cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
sources. This scenario is considered rare.
This issue affects all current OpenSSL versions: 1.0.2, 1.0.1, 1.0.0 and 0.9.8.
OpenSSL 1.0.2 users should upgrade to 1.0.2a
OpenSSL 1.0.1 users should upgrade to 1.0.1m.
OpenSSL 1.0.0 users should upgrade to 1.0.0r.
OpenSSL 0.9.8 users should upgrade to 0.9.8zf.
This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their commit
517073cd4b. The OpenSSL fix was developed by Matt Caswell of the OpenSSL
development team.
X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref (CVE-2015-0288)
===================================================
Severity: Low
The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
This issue affects all current OpenSSL versions: 1.0.2, 1.0.1, 1.0.0
and 0.9.8.
OpenSSL 1.0.2 users should upgrade to 1.0.2a
OpenSSL 1.0.1 users should upgrade to 1.0.1m.
OpenSSL 1.0.0 users should upgrade to 1.0.0r.
OpenSSL 0.9.8 users should upgrade to 0.9.8zf.
This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter and a fix developed by Stephen
Henson of the OpenSSL development team.

OpenSSL Security Advisory [15 Oct 2014]
=======================================
SRTP Memory Leak (CVE-2014-3513)
================================
Severity: High
A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
OpenSSL 1.0.1 users should upgrade to 1.0.1j.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th September 2014, based on an original
issue and patch developed by the LibreSSL project. Further analysis of the issue
was performed by the OpenSSL team.
The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
Session Ticket Memory Leak (CVE-2014-3567)
==========================================
Severity: Medium
When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
attack.
OpenSSL 1.0.1 users should upgrade to 1.0.1j.
OpenSSL 1.0.0 users should upgrade to 1.0.0o.
OpenSSL 0.9.8 users should upgrade to 0.9.8zc.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 8th October 2014.
The fix was developed by Stephen Henson of the OpenSSL core team.
SSL 3.0 Fallback protection
===========================
Severity: Medium
OpenSSL has added support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV to allow applications
to block the ability for a MITM attacker to force a protocol
downgrade.
Some client applications (such as browsers) will reconnect using a
downgraded protocol to work around interoperability bugs in older
servers. This could be exploited by an active man-in-the-middle to
downgrade connections to SSL 3.0 even if both sides of the connection
support higher protocols. SSL 3.0 contains a number of weaknesses
including POODLE (CVE-2014-3566).
OpenSSL 1.0.1 users should upgrade to 1.0.1j.
OpenSSL 1.0.0 users should upgrade to 1.0.0o.
OpenSSL 0.9.8 users should upgrade to 0.9.8zc.

Support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV was developed by Adam Langley and Bodo Moeller.
Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete (CVE-2014-3568)
==================================================
Severity: Low
When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
configured to send them.
OpenSSL 1.0.1 users should upgrade to 1.0.1j.
OpenSSL 1.0.0 users should upgrade to 1.0.0o.
OpenSSL 0.9.8 users should upgrade to 0.9.8zc.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Akamai Technologies on 14th October 2014.
The fix was developed by Akamai and the OpenSSL team.
