    <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>
    Ossi Herrala and Jukka Taimisto of Codenomicon discovered two
    vulnerabilities:
    </p>
    <ul>
    <li>
    A double free() call in the TLS server name extension (CVE-2008-0891).
    </li>
    <li>
    The OpenSSL client code does not properly handle servers that omit the
    Server Key Exchange message in the TLS handshake (CVE-2008-1672).
    </li>
    </ul>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could connect to a vulnerable server, or entice a
    daemon to connect to a malicious server, causing a Denial of Service of
    the daemon in both cases.
    </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 &quot;&gt;=dev-libs/openssl-0.9.8g-r2&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
