The package openssl before version 1.1.0.h-1 is vulnerable to multiple issues including denial of service and private key recovery. . Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201804-2 ======================================== Severity: Medium Date : 2018-04-01 CVE-ID : CVE-2017-3738 CVE-2018-0739 Package : openssl Type : multiple issues Remote : Yes Link : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-540 Summary ====== The package openssl before version 1.1.0.h-1 is vulnerable to multiple issues including denial of service and private key recovery. Resolution ========= Upgrade to 1.1.0.h-1. # pacman -Syu "openssl> =1.1.0.h-1" The problems have been fixed upstream in version 1.1.0.h. Workaround ========= None. Description ========== - CVE-2017-3738 (private key recovery) 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. - CVE-2018-0739 (denial of service) A stack-exhaustion issue has been found in OpenSSL

Several security issues were fixed in NSS.. =========================================================================Ubuntu Security Notice USN-3163-1 January 04, 2017 nss vulnerabilities ========================================================================= A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 16.10 - Ubuntu 16.04 LTS - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Summary: Several security issues were fixed in NSS. Software Description: - nss: Network Security Service library Details: It was discovered that NSS incorrectly handled certain invalid Diffie-Hellman keys. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to cause NSS to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2016-5285) Hubert Kario discovered that NSS incorrectly handled Diffie Hellman client key exchanges. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to perform a small subgroup confinement attack and recover private keys. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2016-8635) Franziskus Kiefer discovered that NSS incorrectly mitigated certain timing side-channel attacks. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to recover private keys. (CVE-2016-9074) This update refreshes the NSS package to version 3.26.2 which includes the latest CA certificate bundle. Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 16.10: libnss3 2:3.26.2-0ubuntu0.16.10.1 Ubuntu 16.04 LTS: libnss3 2:3.26.2-0ubuntu0.16.04.2 Ubuntu 14.04 LTS: libnss3 2:3.26.2-0ubuntu0.14.04.3 Ubuntu 12.04 LTS: libnss3 2:3.26.2-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 This update uses a new upstream release, which includes additional bug fixes. After a standard system update you need to restart anyapplications that use NSS, such as Evolution and Chromium, to make all the necessary changes.
