VIOS 2.2.*

SOLUTION: Apply the fix as described below.

THREAT: See below

CVE Numbers: CVE-2015-4000

Reboot required? NO
Workarounds? NO
Protected by FPM? NO
Protected by SED? NO

2.VULNERABILITY:When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite
loop if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary
polynomial field.

PLATFORMS:          AIX 5.3, 6.1 and 7.1

III. PLATFORM VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT

    To determine if your system is vulnerable, execute the following
    command:

    lslpp -L openssl.base

    The following fileset levels are vulnerable:

    AIX Fileset      Lower Level  Upper Level   
    ------------------------------------------
    openssl.base     1.0.1.500     1.0.1.514
    openssl.base     0.9.8.401     0.9.8.2505
    openssl.base    12.9.8.1100   12.9.8.2505

Note, 0.9.8.401 and 12.9.8.1100 are the Lowest OpenSSL version
available in aix web download site. Even OpenSSL versions below 
this are impacted

IV. SOLUTIONS

A. FIXES

    Fix is available.  The fix can be downloaded from:
    
 ftp://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/efixes/security/openssl_fix14.tar
https://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/efixes/security/openssl_fix14.tar

    The link above is to a tar file containing this signed
    advisory, fix packages, and OpenSSL signatures for each package.
    The fixes below include prerequisite checking. This will
    enforce the correct mapping between the fixes and AIX
    releases.

Note that the tar file contains Interim fixes that are based on OpenSSL version
    as given below - 

    Note: You must be on the 'prereq for installation' level before applying the interim fix.  
    This may require installing a new level(prereq version) first.

| Customers using Power8 machines reported an issue with SSH after applying the ifix
| IV74809s9a.150710.epkg.Z . To fix this issue, the new ifix IV75570m9a.150729.epkg.Z should
| be applied after removing the old ifix IV74809s9a.150710.epkg.Z .The old ifix IV74809s9a.150710.epkg.Z
| works fine for non-Power8 machines without creating any compatibility issue with SSH.

    AIX Level      Interim Fix (*.Z)            Fileset Name(prereq for installation)
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    5.3, 6.1, 7.1   IV74809s9a.150710.epkg.Z    openssl.base(1.0.1.514 version)

| 5.3, 6.1, 7.1 IV75570m9a.150729.epkg.Z openssl.base(1.0.1.514 version)
5.3, 6.1, 7.1 IV74809s9b.150710.epkg.Z openssl.base(0.9.8.2505 version)
5.3, 6.1, 7.1 IV74809s9c.150710.epkg.Z openssl.base(12.9.8.2505 version)

    VIOS Level     Interim Fix (*.Z)	    Fileset Name(prereq for installation)
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    2.2.*          	IV74809s9a.150710.epkg.Z    openssl.base(1.0.1.514 version)

| 2.2.* IV75570m9a.150729.epkg.Z openssl.base(1.0.1.514 version)

2.2.* IV74809s9c.150710.epkg.Z openssl.base(12.9.8.2505 version)

    To extract the fix from the tar file:

    tar xvf openssl_fix14.tar
    cd openssl_fix14

    Verify you have retrieved the fix intact:

    The checksums below were generated using the
    "openssl dgst -sha256 file" command is the followng:

    openssl dgst -sha256         						filename

	These sums should match exactly. The OpenSSL signatures in the tarfile 
and on this advisory can also be used to verify the integrity of the fixes.  
If the sums or signatures cannot be confirmed, contact IBM AIX Security at
    [email protected] and describe the discrepancy.

    NOTE -
	1.for CVE-2015-4000: As the length of the server default DH key group size has been increased 
    from 512 to 768 bits, the amount of CPU required for full TLS/SSL handshake can significantly 
    increase. Please carefully test and assess the impact to your CPU requirements to ensure 
    sufficient CPU resources, otherwise the system availability may be impacted.

    2.For CVE-2015-4000: IBM recommends that you review your entire environment to identify 
    other areas where you have enabled the Diffie-Hellman key-exchange protocol used in TLS and 
    take appropriate mitigation and remediation actions.
        
B. FIX AND INTERIM FIX INSTALLATION

    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 a fix installation:

    installp -a -d fix_name -p all  # where fix_name is the name of the
                                    # fix package being previewed.
    To install a fix package:

    installp -a -d fix_name -X all  # where fix_name is the name of the
                                    # fix package being installed.

    Interim fixes have had limited functional and regression
    testing but not the full regression testing that takes place
    for Service Packs; however, IBM does fully support them.

    Interim fix management documentation can be found at:

    http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/sas/f/aix.efixmgmt/home.html

    To preview an interim fix installation:

    emgr -e ipkg_name -p         # where ipkg_name is the name of the
                                 # interim fix package being previewed.

    To install an interim fix package:

    emgr -e ipkg_name -X         # where ipkg_name is the name of the
                                 # interim fix package being installed.
