============================================================================ Ubuntu Security Notice USN-2385-1 October 16, 2014 openssl vulnerabilities ============================================================================ A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS - Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Summary: Several security issues were fixed in OpenSSL. Software Description: - openssl: Secure Socket Layer (SSL) cryptographic library and tools Details: It was discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled memory when parsing DTLS SRTP extension data. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenSSL to consume resources, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2014-3513) It was discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled memory when verifying the integrity of a session ticket. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenSSL to consume resources, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2014-3567) In addition, this update introduces support for the TLS Fallback Signaling Cipher Suite Value (TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV). This new feature prevents protocol downgrade attacks when certain applications such as web browsers attempt to reconnect using a lower protocol version for interoperability reasons. Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS: libssl1.0.0 1.0.1f-1ubuntu2.7 Ubuntu 12.04 LTS: libssl1.0.0 1.0.1-4ubuntu5.20 Ubuntu 10.04 LTS: libssl0.9.8 0.9.8k-7ubuntu8.22 After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make all the necessary changes.
