Trustix Secure Linux Security Advisory #2003-0005

Package name:      openssl
Summary:           Security fix
Date:              2003-02-20
Affected versions: TSL 1.1, 1.2, 1.5

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package description:
  A C library that provides various crytographic algorithms and protocols,
  including DES, RC4, RSA, and SSL. Includes shared libraries.
  

Problem description:
  From the openssl advisory:
  OpenSSL version since 0.9.6c supposedly treat block cipher padding
  errors like MAC verification errors during record decryption
  (see http://www.openssl.org/~bodo/tls-cbc.txt), but MAC verification
  was still skipped after detection of a padding error, which allowed
  the timing attack.  (Note that it is likely that other SSL/TLS
  implementations will have similar problems.)

  OpenSSL 0.9.6i and 0.9.7a perform a MAC computation even if incorrrect
  block cipher padding has been found to minimize information leaked via
  timing.  For earlier versions starting with 0.9.6e, the enclosed
  security patch can be used.


Action:
  We recommend that all systems with this package installed be upgraded.


Location:
  All TSL updates are available from
