<background>
<p>OpenSSL is an Open Source toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) as well as a general
purpose cryptography library.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>During certificate verification, OpenSSL attempts to find an alternative
certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain fails.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>A remote attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted
certificates to be bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a
valid leaf certificate to act as a CA and “issue” an invalid
certificate.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>All OpenSSL users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-libs/openssl-1.0.1p"
</code>
</resolution>
