Mathy Vanhoef of the imec-DistriNet research group of KU Leuven discovered multiple vulnerabilities in the WPA protocol, used for authentication in wireless networks. Those vulnerabilities applies to both the access point (implemented in hostapd) and the station (implemented in wpa_supplicant). . - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-3999-1

An update that fixes 6 vulnerabilities is now available. An update that fixes 6 vulnerabilities is now available. An update that fixes 6 vulnerabilities is now available.. SUSE Security Update: Security update for compat-openssl097g ______________________________________________________________________________ Announcement ID: SUSE-SU-2016:0631-1 Rating: important References: #963415 #968046 #968048 #968051 #968053 #968374 Cross-References: CVE-2015-3197 CVE-2016-0702 CVE-2016-0703 CVE-2016-0797 CVE-2016-0799 CVE-2016-0800 Affected Products: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP 11-SP4 SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11-SP4 SUSE Linux Enterprise Debuginfo 11-SP4 ______________________________________________________________________________ An update that fixes 6 vulnerabilities is now available. Description: This update for compat-openssl097g fixes the following issues: - CVE-2016-0800 aka the "DROWN" attack (bsc#968046): OpenSSL was vulnerable to a cross-protocol attack that could lead to decryption of TLS sessions by using a server supporting SSLv2 and EXPORT cipher suites as a Bleichenbacher RSA padding oracle. This update changes the openssl library to: * Disable SSLv2 protocol support by default. This can be overridden by setting the environment variable "OPENSSL_ALLOW_SSL2" or by using SSL_CTX_clear_options using the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 flag. Note that various services and clients had already disabled SSL protocol 2 by default previously. * Disable all weak EXPORT ciphers by default. These can be reenabled if required by old legacy software using the environment variable "OPENSSL_ALLOW_EXPORT". - CVE-2016-0705 (bnc#968047): A double free() bug in the DSA ASN1 parser code was fixed that could be abused to facilitate a denial-of-service attack. - CVE-2016-0797(bnc#968048): The BN_hex2bn() and BN_dec2bn() functions had a bug that could result in an attempt to de-reference a NULL pointer leading to crashes. This could have security consequences if these functions were ever called by user applications with large untrusted hex/decimal data. Also, internal usage of these functions in OpenSSL uses data from config files or application command line arguments. If user developed applications generated config file data based on untrusted data, then this could have had security consequences as well. - CVE-2016-0799 (bnc#968374) On many 64 bit systems, the internal fmtstr() and doapr_outch() functions could miscalculate the length of a string and attempt to access out-of-bounds memory locations. These problems could have enabled attacks where large amounts of untrusted data is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions in this way then they could have been vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore applications that print this data could have been vulnerable if the data is from untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also have been vulnerable when they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed as command line arguments. Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. - CVE-2016-0800 aka the "DROWN" attack (bsc#968046): OpenSSL was vulnerable to a cross-protocol attack that could lead to decryption of TLS sessions by using a server supporting SSLv2 and EXPORT cipher suites as a Bleichenbacher RSA padding oracle.

Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. - CVE-2015-3197 (bsc#963415): The SSLv2 protocol did not block disabled ciphers. Note that the March 1st 2016 release also references following CVEs that were fixed by us withCVE-2015-0293 in 2015: - CVE-2016-0703 (bsc#968051): This issue only affected versions of OpenSSL prior to March 19th 2015 at which time the code was refactored to address vulnerability CVE-2015-0293. It would have made the above "DROWN" attack much easier. - CVE-2016-0704 (bsc#968053): "Bleichenbacher oracle in SSLv2" This issue only affected versions of OpenSSL prior to March 19th 2015 at which time the code was refactored to address vulnerability CVE-2015-0293. It would have made the above "DROWN" attack much easier. Patch Instructions: To install this SUSE Security Update use YaST online_update.

security advisorycriticalubuntuUbuntu 12.04 LTS USN-2145-1 Critical: libssh Cryptographic Attack
A security issue was fixed in libssh.. =========================================================================Ubuntu Security Notice USN-2145-1 March 12, 2014 libssh vulnerability ========================================================================= A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 13.10 - Ubuntu 12.10 - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Summary: A security issue was fixed in libssh. Software Description: - libssh: A tiny C SSH library Details: Aris Adamantiadis discovered that libssh allowed the OpenSSL PRNG state to be reused when implementing forking servers. This could allow an attacker to possibly obtain information about the state of the PRNG and perform cryptographic attacks. Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 13.10: libssh-4 0.5.4-1ubuntu0.1 Ubuntu 12.10: libssh-4 0.5.2-1ubuntu0.12.10.3 Ubuntu 12.04 LTS: libssh-4 0.5.2-1ubuntu0.12.04.3 In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes. References: https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-2145-1 CVE-2014-0017 Package Information: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libssh/0.5.4-1ubuntu0.1 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libssh/0.5.2-1ubuntu0.12.10.3 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libssh/0.5.2-1ubuntu0.12.04.3 .
