OpenSSL: Denial of service A vulnerability in OpenSSL might allow remote attackers to cause a Denial of Service condition. openssl 2018-11-09 2018-11-09 663654 remote 1.0.2o-r6 1.0.2o-r6

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.

It was discovered that OpenSSL allow malicious servers to send very large primes to a client during DH(E) based TLS handshakes.

A remote attacker, by sending large prime to client during DH(E) TLS handshake, could possibly cause a Denial of Service condition.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All OpenSSL users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/openssl-1.0.2o-r6"
