CVE-2016-0799

The fmtstr function in crypto/bio/b_print.c in OpenSSL 1.0.1 before 1.0.1s and 1.0.2 before 1.0.2g improperly calculates string lengths, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (overflow and out-of-bounds read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a long string, as demonstrated by a large amount of ASN.1 data, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-2842.

Update openssl packages fix security vulnerabilities:

Yuval Yarom from the University of Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin from Technion and Tel Aviv University, and Nadia Heninger from the University of Pennsylvania discovered a side-channel attack which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture. This could allow local attackers to recover RSA private keys (CVE-2016-0702).

Adam Langley from Google discovered a double free bug when parsing malformed DSA private keys. This could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service or memory corruption in applications parsing DSA private keys received from untrusted sources (CVE-2016-0705).

Guido Vranken discovered an integer overflow in the BN_hex2bn and BN_dec2bn functions that can lead to a NULL pointer dereference and heap corruption. This could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service or memory corruption in applications processing hex or dec data received from untrusted sources (CVE-2016-0797).

Emilia Käsper of the OpenSSL development team discovered a memory leak in the SRP database lookup code. To mitigate the memory leak, the seed handling in SRP_VBASE_get_by_user is now disabled even if the user has configured a seed. Applications are advised to migrate to the SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user function (CVE-2016-0798).

Guido Vranken discovered an integer overflow in the BIO_*printf functions that could lead to an OOB read when printing very long strings. Additionally the internal doapr_outch function can attempt to write to an arbitrary memory location in the event of a memory allocation failure. These issues will only occur on platforms where sizeof(size_t) > sizeof(int) like many 64 bit systems. This could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service or memory corruption in applications that pass large amounts of untrusted data to the BIO_*printf functions (CVE-2016-0799).

Note that Mageia is not vulnerable to the DROWN issue, also known as CVE-2016-0800, in its default configuration, as SSLv2 was disabled by default in Mageia 5. However, upstream mitigations for DROWN have also been incorporated into this update, protecting systems that may have enabled it.

This feature update for venv-salt-minion provides the following changes:

• Introduce venv-salt-minion.
• Mention fixed issues provided with the bundle.

This update for openssl fixes various security issues and bugs:

Security issues fixed:

• CVE-2016-0800 aka the 'DROWN' attack (bsc#968046): OpenSSL was vulnerable to a cross-protocol attack that could lead to decryption of TLS sessions by using a server supporting SSLv2 and EXPORT cipher suites as a Bleichenbacher RSA padding oracle.

  This update changes the openssl library to:

  • Disable SSLv2 protocol support by default.

    This can be overridden by setting the environment variable 'OPENSSL_ALLOW_SSL2' or by using SSL_CTX_clear_options using the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 flag.

    Note that various services and clients had already disabled SSL protocol 2 by default previously.

  • Disable all weak EXPORT ciphers by default. These can be reenabled if required by old legacy software using the environment variable 'OPENSSL_ALLOW_EXPORT'.

• CVE-2016-0702 aka the 'CacheBleed' attack. (bsc#968050) Various changes in the modular exponentation code were added that make sure that it is not possible to recover RSA secret keys by analyzing cache-bank conflicts on the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture.

  Note that this was only exploitable if the malicious code was running on the same hyper threaded Intel Sandy Bridge processor as the victim thread performing decryptions.

• CVE-2016-0705 (bnc#968047): A double free() bug in the DSA ASN1 parser code was fixed that could be abused to facilitate a denial-of-service attack.

• CVE-2016-0797 (bnc#968048): The BN_hex2bn() and BN_dec2bn() functions had a bug that could result in an attempt to de-reference a NULL pointer leading to crashes. This could have security consequences if these functions were ever called by user applications with large untrusted hex/decimal data. Also, internal usage of these functions in OpenSSL uses data from config files or application command line arguments. If user developed applications generated config file data based on untrusted data, then this could have had security consequences as well.

• CVE-2016-0798 (bnc#968265) The SRP user database lookup method SRP_VBASE_get_by_user() had a memory leak that attackers could abuse to facility DoS attacks. To mitigate the issue, the seed handling in SRP_VBASE_get_by_user() was disabled even if the user has configured a seed. Applications are advised to migrate to SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user().

• CVE-2016-0799 (bnc#968374) On many 64 bit systems, the internal fmtstr() and doapr_outch() functions could miscalculate the length of a string and attempt to access out-of-bounds memory locations. These problems could have enabled attacks where large amounts of untrusted data is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions in this way then they could have been vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore applications that print this data could have been vulnerable if the data is from untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also have been vulnerable when they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed as command line arguments. Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable.

• CVE-2015-3197 (bsc#963415): The SSLv2 protocol did not block disabled ciphers.

Note that the March 1st 2016 release also references following CVEs that were fixed by us with CVE-2015-0293 in 2015:

• CVE-2016-0703 (bsc#968051): This issue only affected versions of OpenSSL prior to March 19th 2015 at which time the code was refactored to address vulnerability CVE-2015-0293. It would have made the above 'DROWN' attack much easier.
• CVE-2016-0704 (bsc#968053): 'Bleichenbacher oracle in SSLv2' This issue only affected versions of OpenSSL prior to March 19th 2015 at which time the code was refactored to address vulnerability CVE-2015-0293. It would have made the above 'DROWN' attack much easier.

glibc non-security bugfixes:

• bsc#930721: Accept leading and trailing spaces in getdate input string
• bsc#942317: Recognize power8 platform
• bsc#950944: Always enable pointer guard
• bsc#956988: Fix deadlock in __dl_iterate_phdr

openssl security issues fixed:

• CVE-2016-0800 aka the 'DROWN' attack (bsc#968046): OpenSSL was vulnerable to a cross-protocol attack that could lead to decryption of TLS sessions by using a server supporting SSLv2 and EXPORT cipher suites as a Bleichenbacher RSA padding oracle.

  This update changes the openssl library to:

  • Disable SSLv2 protocol support by default.

    This can be overridden by setting the environment variable 'OPENSSL_ALLOW_SSL2' or by using SSL_CTX_clear_options using the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 flag.

    Note that various services and clients had already disabled SSL protocol 2 by default previously.

  • Disable all weak EXPORT ciphers by default. These can be reenabled if required by old legacy software using the environment variable 'OPENSSL_ALLOW_EXPORT'.

• CVE-2016-0705 (bnc#968047): A double free() bug in the DSA ASN1 parser code was fixed that could be abused to facilitate a denial-of-service attack.

• CVE-2016-0797 (bnc#968048): The BN_hex2bn() and BN_dec2bn() functions had a bug that could result in an attempt to de-reference a NULL pointer leading to crashes. This could have security consequences if these functions were ever called by user applications with large untrusted hex/decimal data. Also, internal usage of these functions in OpenSSL uses data from config files or application command line arguments. If user developed applications generated config file data based on untrusted data, then this could have had security consequences as well.

• CVE-2016-0799 (bnc#968374) On many 64 bit systems, the internal fmtstr() and doapr_outch() functions could miscalculate the length of a string and attempt to access out-of-bounds memory locations. These problems could have enabled attacks where large amounts of untrusted data is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions in this way then they could have been vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore applications that print this data could have been vulnerable if the data is from untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also have been vulnerable when they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed as command line arguments. Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable.

• CVE-2016-0702 aka the 'CacheBleed' attack. (bsc#968050) Various changes in the modular exponentation code were added that make sure that it is not possible to recover RSA secret keys by analyzing cache-bank conflicts on the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture.

  Note that this was only exploitable if the malicious code was running on the same hyper threaded Intel Sandy Bridge processor as the victim thread performing decryptions.

• CVE-2016-0705 (bnc#968047): A double free() bug in the DSA ASN1 parser code was fixed that could be abused to facilitate a denial-of-service attack.

Note that the March 1st 2016 release also references following CVEs that were fixed by us with CVE-2015-0293 in 2015:

• CVE-2016-0703 (bsc#968051): This issue only affected versions of OpenSSL prior to March 19th 2015 at which time the code was refactored to address vulnerability CVE-2015-0293. It would have made the above 'DROWN' attack much easier.
• CVE-2016-0704 (bsc#968053): 'Bleichenbacher oracle in SSLv2' This issue only affected versions of OpenSSL prior to March 19th 2015 at which time the code was refactored to address vulnerability CVE-2015-0293. It would have made the above 'DROWN' attack much easier.

Also fixes the following bug:

• Avoid running OPENSSL_config twice. This avoids breaking engine loading and also fixes a memory leak in libssl. (bsc#952871 bsc#967787)

Yuval Yarom, Daniel Genkin, and Nadia Heninger discovered that OpenSSL was vulnerable to a side-channel attack on modular exponentiation. On certain CPUs, a local attacker could possibly use this issue to recover RSA keys. This flaw is known as CacheBleed. (CVE-2016-0702)

Adam Langley discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled memory when parsing DSA private keys. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause OpenSSL to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-0705)

Guido Vranken discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled hex digit calculation in the BN_hex2bn function. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause OpenSSL to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-0797)

Emilia Käsper discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled memory when performing SRP user database lookups. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenSSL to consume memory, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2016-0798)

Guido Vranken discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled memory when printing very long strings. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause OpenSSL to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-0799)
