 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1   IBM SECURITY ADVISORY  First Issued: Tues Feb 25 14:07:48 CDT 2014  The most recent version of this document is available here:  http://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/efixes/security/openssl_advisory6.asc https://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/efixes/security/openssl_advisory6.asc ftp://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/efixes/security/openssl_advisory6.asc ===============================================================================                            VULNERABILITY SUMMARY  VULNERABILITY:   Multiple OpenSSL vulnerabilities   PLATFORMS:       AIX 5.3, 6.1 and 7.1                  VIOS 2.X  SOLUTION:        Apply the fix as described below.  THREAT:          See below  CVE Numbers:     CVE-2013-4353                  CVE-2013-6450                  CVE-2013-6449  Reboot required?    NO Workarounds?        NO Protected by FPM?   NO Protected by SED?   NO ===============================================================================                            DETAILED INFORMATION  I. DESCRIPTION (From cve.mitre.org)         CVE-2013-4353     A carefully crafted invalid TLS handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL      pointer exception. A malicious server could use this flaw to crash a     connecting client. This issue only affected OpenSSL 1.0.1 versions.       CVE-2013-6450     A flaw in DTLS handling can cause an application using OpenSSL and DTLS to     crash. This is not a vulnerability for OpenSSL prior to 1.0.0. OpenSSL is      vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the failure to properly      maintain data structures for digest and encryption contexts by the DTLS         retransmission implementation. A remote attacker could exploit this i     vulnerability to cause the daemon to crash.         CVE-2013-6449     A flaw in OpenSSL can cause an application using OpenSSL to crash when      using TLS version 1.2. This issue only affected OpenSSL 1.0.1 versions.      OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error in the      ssl_get_algorithm2 function. A remote attacker could exploit this      vulnerability using specially-crafted traffic from a TLS 1.2 client to      cause the daemon to crash.  II. CVSS      CVE-2013-4353     CVSS Base Score: 5     CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/90201 for the      current score      CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined      CVSS Vector:  (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)      CVE-2013-6450     CVSS Base Score: 4.3     CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/90069 for the      current score      CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined      CVSS Vector:  (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)      CVE-2013-6449     CVSS Base Score: 4.3     CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/90068 for thei     current score      CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined      CVSS Vector:  (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)  III. PLATFORM VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT      The following fileset levels are vulnerable:      AIX 7.1, 6.1, 5.3: all versions less than or equal to 1.0.1.500     VIOS 2.X: all versions less than or equal to 1.0.1.500      IMPORTANT: If AIX OpenSSH is in use, it must be updated to version     OpenSSH 6.0 or later, depending on the OpenSSL version according to     following compatibility matrix:      AIX              OpenSSL                    OpenSSH     ------------------------------------------------------------------     5.3,6.1,7.1      OpenSSL 1.0.1.501          OpenSSH 6.0.0.6103                      (Available)      VIOS             OpenSSL                    OpenSSH     ------------------------------------------------------------------     2.X              OpenSSL 1.0.1.501          OpenSSH 6.0.0.6103                      (Available)      Note: To find out whether the affected filesets are installed on your     systems, refer to the lslpp command found in AIX user's guide.      AIX OpenSSH can be downloaded from:      OpenSSH 6.0:     http://sourceforge.net/projects/openssh-aix     OpenSSH 6.0.0.6103     https://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/iwm/web/preLogin.do?source=aixbp  IV. FIXES      A fix is available, and it can be downloaded from:      https://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/iwm/web/preLogin.do?source=aixbp      To extract the fixes from the tar file:      zcat openssl-1.0.1.501.tar.Z | tar xvf -      IMPORTANT: If possible, it is recommended that a mksysb backup     of the system be created.  Verify it is both bootable and     readable before proceeding.      To preview the fix installation:      installp -apYd . openssl      To install the fix package:      installp -aXYd . openssl  V. WORKAROUNDS      There are no workarounds.  VI.
