An update that fixes one vulnerability is now available.. openSUSE Security Update: Security update for libressl ______________________________________________________________________________ Announcement ID: openSUSE-SU-2018:2592-1 Rating: moderate References: #1097779 Cross-References: CVE-2018-12434 Affected Products: openSUSE Leap 15.0 ______________________________________________________________________________ An update that fixes one vulnerability is now available. Description: This update for libressl to version 2.8.0 fixes the following issues: Security issues fixed: - CVE-2018-12434: Avoid a timing side-channel leak when generating DSA and ECDSA signatures. (boo#1097779) - Reject excessively large primes in DH key generation. Other bugs fixed: - Fixed a pair of 20+ year-old bugs in X509_NAME_add_entry. - Tighten up checks for various X509_VERIFY_PARAM functions, 'poisoning' parameters so that an unverified certificate cannot be used if it fails verification. - Fixed a potential memory leak on failure in ASN1_item_digest. - Fixed a potential memory alignment crash in asn1_item_combine_free. - Removed unused SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED and SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER flags in write path, simplifying IO paths. - Removed SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG buggy client workarounds. - Added const annotations to many existing APIs from OpenSSL, making interoperability easier for downstream applications. - Added a missing bounds check in c2i_ASN1_BIT_STRING. - Removed three remaining single DES cipher suites. - Fixed a potential leak/incorrect return value in DSA signature generation. - Added a blinding value when generating DSA and ECDSA signatures, in order to reduce the possibility of a side-channel attack leaking the private key. - Added ECC constant time scalar multiplication support. - Revised the implementation of RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 to match the specification in RFC 8017.

Moderate: nss and nspr security, bug fix, and enhancement update. Date: Mon, 5 Aug 2013 19:03:49 +0000 Reply-To: scientific-linux-users@ Sender: Security Errata for Scientific Linux From: Pat Riehecky Subject: Security ERRATA Moderate: nss and nspr on SL5.x i386/x86_64 MIME-Version: 1.0 Synopsis: Moderate: nss and nspr security, bug fix, and enhancement update Advisory ID: SLSA-2013:1135-1 Issue Date: 2013-08-05 CVE Numbers: CVE-2013-1620 CVE-2013-0791 -- It was discovered that NSS leaked timing information when decrypting TLS/SSL and DTLS protocol encrypted records when CBC-mode cipher suites were used. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to retrieve plain text from the encrypted packets by using a TLS/SSL or DTLS server as a padding oracle. (CVE-2013-1620) An out-of-bounds memory read flaw was found in the way NSS decoded certain certificates. If an application using NSS decoded a malformed certificate, it could cause the application to crash. (CVE-2013-0791) This update also fixes the following bugs: * A defect in the FreeBL library implementation of the Diffie-Hellman (DH) protocol previously caused Openswan to drop connections. * A memory leak in the nssutil_ReadSecmodDB() function has been fixed. In addition, the nss package has been upgraded to upstream version 3.14.3, and the nspr package has been upgraded to upstream version 4.9.5. These updates provide a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous versions. Note that while upstream NSS version 3.14 prevents the use of certificates that have an MD5 signature, this erratum includes a patch that allows such certificates by default. To prevent the use of certificates that have an MD5 signature, set the "NSS_HASH_ALG_SUPPORT" environment variable to "-MD5". After installing this update, applications using NSS or NSPR must be restarted for this update to take effect. -- SL5 x86_64 nspr-4.9.5-1.el5_9.i386.rpm nspr-4.9.5-1.el5_9.x86_64.rpm nspr-debuginfo-4.9.5-1.el5_9.i386.rpm nspr-debuginfo-4.9.5-1.el5_9.x86_64.rpm nss-3.14.3-6.el5_9.i386.rpm nss-3.14.3-6.el5_9.x86_64.rpm nss-debuginfo-3.14.3-6.el5_9.i386.rpm nss-debuginfo-3.14.3-6.el5_9.x86_64.rpm nss-tools-3.14.3-6.el5_9.x86_64.rpm nspr-devel-4.9.5-1.el5_9.i386.rpm nspr-devel-4.9.5-1.el5_9.x86_64.rpm nss-devel-3.14.3-6.el5_9.i386.rpm nss-devel-3.14.3-6.el5_9.x86_64.rpm nss-pkcs11-devel-3.14.3-6.el5_9.i386.rpm nss-pkcs11-devel-3.14.3-6.el5_9.x86_64.rpm i386 nspr-4.9.5-1.el5_9.i386.rpm nspr-debuginfo-4.9.5-1.el5_9.i386.rpm nss-3.14.3-6.el5_9.i386.rpm nss-debuginfo-3.14.3-6.el5_9.i386.rpm nss-tools-3.14.3-6.el5_9.i386.rpm nspr-devel-4.9.5-1.el5_9.i386.rpm nss-devel-3.14.3-6.el5_9.i386.rpm nss-pkcs11-devel-3.14.3-6.el5_9.i386.rpm - Scientific Linux Development Team .
