Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in OpenSSL, a Secure Sockets
Layer toolkit.
- CVE-2014-8176
Praveen Kariyanahalli, Ivan Fratric and Felix Groebert discovered
that an invalid memory free could be triggered when buffering DTLS
data. This could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(crash) or potentially execute arbitrary code. This issue only
affected the oldstable distribution (wheezy).
- CVE-2015-1789
Robert Swiecki and Hanno BĂśck discovered that the X509_cmp_time
function could read a few bytes out of bounds. This could allow remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via crafted
certificates and CRLs.
- CVE-2015-1790
Michal Zalewski discovered that the PKCS#7 parsing code did not
properly handle missing content which could lead to a NULL pointer
dereference. This could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of
service (crash) via crafted ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs.
- CVE-2015-1791
Emilia Käsper discovered that a race condition could occur due to
incorrect handling of NewSessionTicket in a multi-threaded client,
leading to a double free. This could allow remote attackers to cause
a denial of service (crash).
- CVE-2015-1792
Johannes Bauer discovered that the CMS code could enter an infinite
loop when verifying a signedData message, if presented with an
unknown hash function OID. This could allow remote attackers to cause
a denial of service.
Additionally OpenSSL will now reject handshakes using DH parameters
shorter than 768 bits as a countermeasure against the Logjam attack
(CVE-2015-4000).
