OpenSSL CHANGES
_______________
- Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
+ This is a high-level summary of the most important changes.
+ For a full list of changes, see the git commit log; for example,
+ https://github.com/openssl/openssl/commits/ and pick the appropriate
+ release branch.
- *) SRTP Memory Leak.
+ Changes between 1.0.2o and 1.0.2p [xx XXX xxxx]
- A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
- sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
- to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
- exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
- 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
- whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
- have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
+ *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
+ now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
+ [Richard Levitte]
- The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
- (CVE-2014-3513)
- [OpenSSL team]
+ *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
+ compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
+ are no longer allowed.
+ [Emilia Käsper]
+
+ Changes between 1.0.2n and 1.0.2o [27 Mar 2018]
+
+ *) Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition could exceed the stack
+
+ Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition (such as can be found
+ in PKCS7) could eventually exceed the stack given malicious input with
+ excessive recursion. This could result in a Denial Of Service attack. There
+ are no such structures used within SSL/TLS that come from untrusted sources
+ so this is considered safe.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th January 2018 by the OSS-fuzz
+ project.
+ (CVE-2018-0739)
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ Changes between 1.0.2m and 1.0.2n [7 Dec 2017]
+
+ *) Read/write after SSL object in error state
+
+ OpenSSL 1.0.2 (starting from version 1.0.2b) introduced an "error state"
+ mechanism. The intent was that if a fatal error occurred during a handshake
+ then OpenSSL would move into the error state and would immediately fail if
+ you attempted to continue the handshake. This works as designed for the
+ explicit handshake functions (SSL_do_handshake(), SSL_accept() and
+ SSL_connect()), however due to a bug it does not work correctly if
+ SSL_read() or SSL_write() is called directly. In that scenario, if the
+ handshake fails then a fatal error will be returned in the initial function
+ call. If SSL_read()/SSL_write() is subsequently called by the application
+ for the same SSL object then it will succeed and the data is passed without
+ being decrypted/encrypted directly from the SSL/TLS record layer.
+
+ In order to exploit this issue an application bug would have to be present
+ that resulted in a call to SSL_read()/SSL_write() being issued after having
+ already received a fatal error.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google).
+ (CVE-2017-3737)
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64
+
+ There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure
+ used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected.
+ Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this
+ defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely.
+ Attacks against DH1024 are considered just feasible, because most of the
+ work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed
+ offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be
+ significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server
+ would have to share the DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is
+ no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701.
+
+ This only affects processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX extensions
+ like Intel Haswell (4th generation).
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google). The issue
+ was originally found via the OSS-Fuzz project.
+ (CVE-2017-3738)
+ [Andy Polyakov]
- *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
+ Changes between 1.0.2l and 1.0.2m [2 Nov 2017]
- When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
- integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
- ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
- causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
- tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
- attack.
- (CVE-2014-3567)
- [Steve Henson]
+ *) bn_sqrx8x_internal carry bug on x86_64
- *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
+ There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
+ procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
+ against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
+ perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
+ feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
+ deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
+ of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
+ likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
+ additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
+ private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
+ key that is shared between multiple clients.
- When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
- could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
- configured to send them.
- (CVE-2014-3568)
- [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
+ This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX extensions
+ like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD Ryzen.
- *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
- Client applications doing fallback retries should call
- SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
- (CVE-2014-3566)
- [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
+ (CVE-2017-3736)
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) Malformed X.509 IPAddressFamily could cause OOB read
+
+ If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily extension,
+ OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most likely result
+ would be an erroneous display of the certificate in text format.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
+ (CVE-2017-3735)
+ [Rich Salz]
+
+ Changes between 1.0.2k and 1.0.2l [25 May 2017]
+
+ *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
+ platform rather than 'mingw'.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ Changes between 1.0.2j and 1.0.2k [26 Jan 2017]
+
+ *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
+
+ If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
+ cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
+ perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
+ (CVE-2017-3731)
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
+
+ There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
+ procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
+ against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
+ perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
+ feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
+ deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
+ of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
+ likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
+ additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
+ private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
+ key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
+ default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
+ similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
+ (CVE-2017-3732)
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
+
+ There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
+ multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
+ longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
+ and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
+ question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
+ of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
+ transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
+ erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
+ Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
+ presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
+ detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
+ multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
+ share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
+ Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
+
+ This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
+ initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
+ providing reproducible case.
+ (CVE-2016-7055)
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
+ or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
+ prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
+ sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ Changes between 1.0.2i and 1.0.2j [26 Sep 2016]
+
+ *) Missing CRL sanity check
+
+ A bug fix which included a CRL sanity check was added to OpenSSL 1.1.0
+ but was omitted from OpenSSL 1.0.2i. As a result any attempt to use
+ CRLs in OpenSSL 1.0.2i will crash with a null pointer exception.
+
+ This issue only affects the OpenSSL 1.0.2i
+ (CVE-2016-7052)
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.0.2i [22 Sep 2016]
+
+ *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
+
+ A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
+ extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
+ large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
+ memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
+ Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
+ configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
+ the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
+ (CVE-2016-6304)
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) In order to mitigate the SWEET32 attack, the DES ciphers were moved from
+ HIGH to MEDIUM.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL Karthikeyan Bhargavan and Gaetan
+ Leurent (INRIA)
+ (CVE-2016-2183)
+ [Rich Salz]
+
+ *) OOB write in MDC2_Update()
+
+ An overflow can occur in MDC2_Update() either if called directly or
+ through the EVP_DigestUpdate() function using MDC2. If an attacker
+ is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous
+ call to EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check
+ can overflow resulting in a heap corruption.
+
+ The amount of data needed is comparable to SIZE_MAX which is impractical
+ on most platforms.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
+ (CVE-2016-6303)
+ [Stephen Henson]
+
+ *) Malformed SHA512 ticket DoS
+
+ If a server uses SHA512 for TLS session ticket HMAC it is vulnerable to a
+ DoS attack where a malformed ticket will result in an OOB read which will
+ ultimately crash.
+
+ The use of SHA512 in TLS session tickets is comparatively rare as it requires
+ a custom server callback and ticket lookup mechanism.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
+ (CVE-2016-6302)
+ [Stephen Henson]
+
+ *) OOB write in BN_bn2dec()
+
+ The function BN_bn2dec() does not check the return value of BN_div_word().
+ This can cause an OOB write if an application uses this function with an
+ overly large BIGNUM. This could be a problem if an overly large certificate
+ or CRL is printed out from an untrusted source. TLS is not affected because
+ record limits will reject an oversized certificate before it is parsed.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
+ (CVE-2016-2182)
+ [Stephen Henson]
+
+ *) OOB read in TS_OBJ_print_bio()
+
+ The function TS_OBJ_print_bio() misuses OBJ_obj2txt(): the return value is
+ the total length the OID text representation would use and not the amount
+ of data written. This will result in OOB reads when large OIDs are
+ presented.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
+ (CVE-2016-2180)
+ [Stephen Henson]
+
+ *) Pointer arithmetic undefined behaviour
+
+ Avoid some undefined pointer arithmetic
+
+ A common idiom in the codebase is to check limits in the following manner:
+ "p + len > limit"
+
+ Where "p" points to some malloc'd data of SIZE bytes and
+ limit == p + SIZE
+
+ "len" here could be from some externally supplied data (e.g. from a TLS
+ message).
+
+ The rules of C pointer arithmetic are such that "p + len" is only well
+ defined where len <= SIZE. Therefore the above idiom is actually
+ undefined behaviour.
+
+ For example this could cause problems if some malloc implementation
+ provides an address for "p" such that "p + len" actually overflows for
+ values of len that are too big and therefore p + len < limit.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken
+ (CVE-2016-2177)
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Constant time flag not preserved in DSA signing
+
+ Operations in the DSA signing algorithm should run in constant time in
+ order to avoid side channel attacks. A flaw in the OpenSSL DSA
+ implementation means that a non-constant time codepath is followed for
+ certain operations. This has been demonstrated through a cache-timing
+ attack to be sufficient for an attacker to recover the private DSA key.
+
+ This issue was reported by César Pereida (Aalto University), Billy Brumley
+ (Tampere University of Technology), and Yuval Yarom (The University of
+ Adelaide and NICTA).
+ (CVE-2016-2178)
+ [César Pereida]
+
+ *) DTLS buffered message DoS
+
+ In a DTLS connection where handshake messages are delivered out-of-order
+ those messages that OpenSSL is not yet ready to process will be buffered
+ for later use. Under certain circumstances, a flaw in the logic means that
+ those messages do not get removed from the buffer even though the handshake
+ has been completed. An attacker could force up to approx. 15 messages to
+ remain in the buffer when they are no longer required. These messages will
+ be cleared when the DTLS connection is closed. The default maximum size for
+ a message is 100k. Therefore the attacker could force an additional 1500k
+ to be consumed per connection. By opening many simulataneous connections an
+ attacker could cause a DoS attack through memory exhaustion.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Quan Luo.
+ (CVE-2016-2179)
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) DTLS replay protection DoS
+
+ A flaw in the DTLS replay attack protection mechanism means that records
+ that arrive for future epochs update the replay protection "window" before
+ the MAC for the record has been validated. This could be exploited by an
+ attacker by sending a record for the next epoch (which does not have to
+ decrypt or have a valid MAC), with a very large sequence number. This means
+ that all subsequent legitimate packets are dropped causing a denial of
+ service for a specific DTLS connection.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OCAP audit team.
+ (CVE-2016-2181)
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Certificate message OOB reads
+
+ In OpenSSL 1.0.2 and earlier some missing message length checks can result
+ in OOB reads of up to 2 bytes beyond an allocated buffer. There is a
+ theoretical DoS risk but this has not been observed in practice on common
+ platforms.
+
+ The messages affected are client certificate, client certificate request
+ and server certificate. As a result the attack can only be performed
+ against a client or a server which enables client authentication.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
+ (CVE-2016-6306)
+ [Stephen Henson]
+
+ Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
+
+ *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
+
+ A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
+ when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
+ AES-NI.
+
+ This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
+ attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
+ constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
+ compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
+ checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
+ bytes.
+
+ This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
+ (CVE-2016-2107)
+ [Kurt Roeckx]
+
+ *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
+
+ An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
+ Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
+ amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
+ corruption.
+
+ Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarly used by
+ the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
+ OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
+ from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
+ vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
+ with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
+
+ This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
+ (CVE-2016-2105)
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
+
+ An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
+ is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
+ EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
+ resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
+ internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
+ forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
+ the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
+ specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
+ EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
+ therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
+ one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
+ internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
+ EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
+ Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
+ of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
+ instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
+
+ This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
+ (CVE-2016-2106)
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
+
+ When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
+ a short invalid encoding can casuse allocation of large amounts of memory
+ potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
+
+ Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
+ affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
+ Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
+ applications are not affected.
+
+ This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
+ (CVE-2016-2109)
+ [Stephen Henson]
+
+ *) EBCDIC overread
+
+ ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
+ using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
+ in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.
+
+ This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
+ (CVE-2016-2176)
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
+ callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
+ [Todd Short]
+
+ *) Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
+ default.
+ [Kurt Roeckx]
+
+ *) Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
+ methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
+ [Kurt Roeckx]
+
+ Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
+
+ * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
+ Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
+ provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
+ [Viktor Dukhovni]
+
+ * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
+ is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
+ "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
+ users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
+ will need to explicitly call either of:
+
+ SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
+ or
+ SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
+
+ as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
+ explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
+ server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
+ recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
+ ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
+ (CVE-2016-0800)
+ [Viktor Dukhovni]
+
+ *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
+
+ A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
+ keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
+ that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
+ considered rare.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
+ libFuzzer.
+ (CVE-2016-0705)
+ [Stephen Henson]
+
+ *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
+
+ Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
+
+ SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
+ In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
+ was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
+ is configured.
+
+ Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
+ SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
+ also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
+ invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
+ credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
+ guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
+ that of a valid user.
+ (CVE-2016-0798)
+ [Emilia Käsper]
+
+ *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
+
+ In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
+ int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
+ large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
+ memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
+ field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
+ of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
+ In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
+ is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
+ in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
+ is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
+ This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
+
+ All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
+ to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
+ arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
+ on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
+ consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
+ (CVE-2016-0797)
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
+
+ The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
+ the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
+ string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
+
+ Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
+ OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
+ memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
+ the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
+ could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
+ also occur.
+
+ The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
+ These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
+ is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
+ in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
+ functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
+ applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
+ untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
+ vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
+ as command line arguments.
+
+ Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
+ received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
+ trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.
+ (CVE-2016-0799)
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
+
+ A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
+ the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
+ of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
+ an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
+ hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
+ Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and
+ Nadia Heninger, University of Pennsylvania with more information at
+ http://cachebleed.info.
+ (CVE-2016-0702)
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) Change the req app to generate a 2048-bit RSA/DSA key by default,
+ if no keysize is specified with default_bits. This fixes an
+ omission in an earlier change that changed all RSA/DSA key generation
+ apps to use 2048 bits by default.
+ [Emilia Käsper]
+
+ Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
+
+ *) DH small subgroups
+
+ Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
+ primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
+ generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
+ support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
+ application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
+ not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
+ DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
+ handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
+ this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
+ reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
+
+ OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
+ TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
+ reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
+ would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
+ applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
+
+ The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
+ available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
+ only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
+ ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
+
+ Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
+ default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).

+
+ A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on

+ *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
+
+ There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
+ procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
+ against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
+ perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
+ feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
+ deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
+ of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
+ likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
+ additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
+ private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
+ key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
+ default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

+
+ The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
+ dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS

+
+ *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
+
+ During certificate verfification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
+ alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
+ fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an

+ *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
+
+ When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
+ if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial

+
+ An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of

+
+ *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
+
+ OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
+ feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
+ NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
+ OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
+ using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
+ socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
+ However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation

+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
+
+ The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
+ initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
+ over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
+ an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
+ that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
+ that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
+ ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
+ that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
+ server.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.

+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
+
+ The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is

+
+ *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
+
+ Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
+ memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
+ strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
+
+ Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY

+
+ *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
+
+ If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE

+ (CVE-2015-1787)
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
+
+ Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
+ with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
+ - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
+ automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
+ - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
+ SSL_client_methodv23)
+ - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
+ the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
+
+ If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
+ have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
+ output may be predictable.
+
+ For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
+ succeed on an unpatched platform:
+
+ openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
+ (CVE-2015-0285)
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
+
+ A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
+ could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
+ free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
+ or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
+ for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
+ sources. This scenario is considered rare.

-
- This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
