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.

<description>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The ASN1_STRING_print_ex() function does not properly check the
|
|
provided length of a BMPString or UniversalString, leading to an
|
|
invalid memory access.
|
|
</p>

|
|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A remote attacker could entice a user or automated system to print a
|
|
specially crafted certificate, possibly leading to a Denial of Service.
|
|
</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 ">=dev-libs/openssl-0.9.8k"</code>
