VULNERABILITY SUMMARY
VULNERABILITY: Multiple OpenSSL vulnerabilities
PLATFORMS: AIX 5.3, 6.1 and 7.1
VIOS 2.X
SOLUTION: Apply the fix as described below.
THREAT: See below
CVE Numbers: CVE-2013-4353
CVE-2013-6450
CVE-2013-6449
DETAILED INFORMATION
I. DESCRIPTION (From cve.mitre.org)
CVE-2013-4353
A carefully crafted invalid TLS handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL
pointer exception. A malicious server could use this flaw to crash a
connecting client. This issue only affected OpenSSL 1.0.1 versions.
CVE-2013-6450
A flaw in DTLS handling can cause an application using OpenSSL and DTLS to
crash. This is not a vulnerability for OpenSSL prior to 1.0.0. OpenSSL is
vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the failure to properly
maintain data structures for digest and encryption contexts by the DTLS
retransmission implementation. A remote attacker could exploit this i
vulnerability to cause the daemon to crash.
CVE-2013-6449
A flaw in OpenSSL can cause an application using OpenSSL to crash when
using TLS version 1.2. This issue only affected OpenSSL 1.0.1 versions.
OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error in the
ssl_get_algorithm2 function. A remote attacker could exploit this
vulnerability using specially-crafted traffic from a TLS 1.2 client to
cause the daemon to crash.

III. PLATFORM VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT
The following fileset levels are vulnerable:
| AIX 7.1, 6.1, 5.3: all versions equal to 1.0.1.500
| VIOS 2.X: all versions equal to 1.0.1.500
IMPORTANT: If AIX OpenSSH is in use, it must be updated to version
OpenSSH 6.0 or later, depending on the OpenSSL version according to
following compatibility matrix:
AIX OpenSSL OpenSSH
------------------------------------------------------------------
5.3,6.1,7.1 OpenSSL 1.0.1.501 OpenSSH 6.0.0.6103
(Available)
VIOS OpenSSL OpenSSH
------------------------------------------------------------------
2.X OpenSSL 1.0.1.501 OpenSSH 6.0.0.6103
(Available)
Note: To find out whether the affected filesets are installed on your
systems, refer to the lslpp command found in AIX user's guide.
AIX OpenSSH can be downloaded from:
OpenSSH 6.0:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/openssh-aix
OpenSSH 6.0.0.6103
https://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/iwm/web/preLogin.do?source=aixbp
IV. FIXES
A fix is available, and it can be downloaded from:
https://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/iwm/web/preLogin.do?source=aixbp
To extract the fixes from the tar file:
zcat openssl-1.0.1.501.tar.Z | tar xvf -
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 the fix installation:
installp -apYd . openssl
To install the fix package:
installp -aXYd . openssl
V. WORKAROUNDS
There are no workarounds.
