Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.

1) Information disclosure

EUVDB-ID: #VU5214

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 5.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N/E:F/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2014-3566

CWE-ID: CWE-327 - Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.

The vulnerability exists due to usage of insecure SSLv3 protocol in OpenSSL. A remote attacker can force the current connection between user and server to be downgraded to SSLv3 protocol and then use padding-oracle attack on Cypher-block chaining (CBC) mode to decrypt encrypted communication.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to read encrypted communications in clear text.

Note: The vulnerability is known as POODLE.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

EUVDB-ID: #VU5213

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2014-3567

CWE-ID: CWE-401 - Missing release of memory after effective lifetime

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to an error when handling integrity of session tickets in OpenSSL. A remote attacker can send a large number of invalid session tickets and cause denial of service conditions.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Mitigation
