USN-620-1: OpenSSL vulnerabilities  

Posted by Daniela Mehler

A new OpenSSL vulnerabilities update is available for Ubuntu Linux. Here the announcement:
"Ubuntu Security Notice USN-620-1 June 26, 2008
openssl vulnerabilities
CVE-2008-0891, CVE-2008-1672
==========================
==========================
=========

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS:
libssl0.9.8 0.9.8g-4ubuntu3.3

After a standard system upgrade you need to reboot your computer to
effect the necessary changes.

Details follow:

It was discovered that OpenSSL was vulnerable to a double-free
when using TLS server extensions. A remote attacker could send a
crafted packet and cause a denial of service via application crash
in applications linked against OpenSSL. Ubuntu 8.04 LTS does not
compile TLS server extensions by default. (CVE-2008-0891)

It was discovered that OpenSSL could dereference a NULL pointer.
If a user or automated system were tricked into connecting to a
malicious server with particular cipher suites, a remote attacker
could cause a denial of service via application crash.
(CVE-2008-1672)


Updated packages for Ubuntu 8.04 LTS:
