Updated openssl packages fix security vulnerability

If a client receives a ServerKeyExchange for an anonymous DH ciphersuite with the value of p set to 0 then a seg fault can occur leading to a possible denial of service attack (CVE-2015-1794).

Loic Jonas Etienne of Qnective AG discovered that the signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. A remote attacker can exploit this flaw to crash any certificate verification operation and mount a denial of service attack (CVE-2015-3194).

Adam Langley of Google/BoringSSL discovered that OpenSSL will leak memory when presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure (CVE-2015-3195).

A race condition flaw in the handling of PSK identify hints was discovered, potentially leading to a double free of the identify hint data (CVE-2015-3196).

openssl vulnerabilities

Guy Leaver discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled a ServerKeyExchange for an anonymous DH ciphersuite with the value of p set to 0. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenSSL to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 15.10. (CVE-2015-1794)

Hanno Böck discovered that the OpenSSL Montgomery squaring procedure algorithm may produce incorrect results when being used on x86_64. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to break encryption. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 15.10. (CVE-2015-3193)

Loïc Jonas Etienne discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled ASN.1 signatures with a missing PSS parameter. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenSSL to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2015-3194)

Adam Langley discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structures. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenSSL to consume resources, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2015-3195)

It was discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled PSK identity hints. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenSSL to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 15.04. (CVE-2015-3196)
