Security Bulletin
Summary
OpenSSL included in Power Hardware Management Console contains multiple vulnerabilities including POODLE (Padding Oracle On Downgraded Legacy Encryption).
Vulnerability Details
CVE-ID: CVE-2014-3513
Description: OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a memory leak in the DTLS Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP) extension parsing code. By sending multiple specially-crafted handshake messages, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to exhaust all available memory of an SSL/TLS or DTLS server.
CVSS Base Score: 5.0
CVSS Temporal Score: http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/97035 for more information
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)
CVE-ID: CVE-2014-3566
DESCRIPTION: Product could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a design error when using the SSLv3 protocol. A remote user with the ability to conduct a man-in-the-middle attack could exploit this vulnerability using a POODLE (Padding Oracle On Downgraded Legacy Encryption) attack to decrypt SSL sessions and access the plaintext of encrypted connections.
CVSS Base Score: 4.3

CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N)
CVE-ID: CVE-2014-3509
Description: OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a race condition in the ssl_parse_serverhello_tlsext() code. If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed session, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base Score: 4.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/95159 for more information

CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)
CVE-ID: CVE-2014-3510
Description: OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a NULL pointer dereference in anonymous ECDH ciphersuites. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using a malicious handshake to cause the client to crash.
CVSS Base Score: 4.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/95164 for more information

CVE-ID: CVE-2014-3511
Description: OpenSSL could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by the negotiation of TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions by the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code when handling a badly fragmented ClientHello message. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using man-in-the-middle techniques to force a downgrade to TLS 1.0.

Workarounds and Mitigations
HMC will connect to systems using SSLv3 if the system does not support stronger TLS 1.2 protocol. To fix this, you should update firmware level on the system with POODLE fixes.
