[cabfpub] OpenSSL MITM

[Stephen Davidson]

SSL/TLS MITM vulnerability (CVE-2014-0224)

===========================================

 

http://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20140605.txt 

 

An attacker using a carefully crafted handshake can force the use of weak

keying material in OpenSSL SSL/TLS clients and servers. This can be
exploited

by a Man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack where the attacker can decrypt and 

modify traffic from the attacked client and server.

 

The attack can only be performed between a vulnerable client *and*

server. OpenSSL clients are vulnerable in all versions of OpenSSL. Servers

are only known to be vulnerable in OpenSSL 1.0.1 and 1.0.2-beta1. Users

of OpenSSL servers earlier than 1.0.1 are advised to upgrade as a
precaution.

 

OpenSSL 0.9.8 SSL/TLS users (client and/or server) should upgrade to
0.9.8za.

OpenSSL 1.0.0 SSL/TLS users (client and/or server) should upgrade to 1.0.0m.

OpenSSL 1.0.1 SSL/TLS users (client and/or server) should upgrade to 1.0.1h.

 

Best, Stephen
