<p>
OpenSSL is a toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer, Transport
Layer Security protocols and a general-purpose cryptography library.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
Applications setting the SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING option (or the
SSL_OP_ALL option, that implies it) can be forced by a third-party to
fallback to the less secure SSL 2.0 protocol, even if both parties
support the more secure SSL 3.0 or TLS 1.0 protocols.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="low">
<p>
A man-in-the-middle attacker can weaken the encryption used to
communicate between two parties, potentially revealing sensitive
information.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
If possible, disable the use of SSL 2.0 in all OpenSSL-enabled
applications.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All OpenSSL users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose dev-libs/openssl</code>
</resolution>
