OpenSSL servers contain a buffer overflow during the SSL2 handshake process

Vulnerability Note VU#102795

Original Release Date: 2002-07-30 | Last Revised: 2002-09-30

Overview

OpenSSL is an open-source implementation of the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. A remotely exploitable vulnerability exists in OpenSSL servers that could lead to the execution of arbitrary code on the server.

Description

Versions of OpenSSL servers prior to 0.9.6e and pre-release version 0.9.7-beta2 contain a remotely exploitable buffer overflow vulnerability. This vulnerability can be exploited by a client using a malformed key during the handshake process with an SSL server connection using the SSLv2 communication process.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to the execution of arbitrary code on the server. The code will be executed with the privileges of the application or service exploited via this vulnerability.

Solution

OpenSSL servers should apply the patches provided by your vendors, or upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.6e. Note that applications statically linking to OpenSSL libraries may need to be recompiled with the corrected version of OpenSSL.

Servers can disable SSL2 or disable all applications using SSL or TLS until the patches are applied.

Debian Security Advisory DSA-136-1                   security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/                         Wichert Akkerman
July 30, 2002
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------


Package        : openssl
Problem type   : multiple remote exploits
Debian-specific: no
CVE            : CAN-2002-0655 CAN-2002-0656 CAN-2002-0657 CAN-2002-0659

The OpenSSL development team has announced that a security audit by A.L.
Digital Ltd and The Bunker, under the DARPA CHATS program, has revealed
remotely exploitable buffer overflow conditions in the OpenSSL code.
Additionaly, the ASN1 parser in OpenSSL has a potential DoS attack
independently discovered by Adi Stav and James Yonan.

CAN-2002-0655 references overflows in buffers used to hold ASCII
representations of integers on 64 bit platforms. CAN-2002-0656
references buffer overflows in the SSL2 server implementation (by
sending an invalid key to the server) and the SSL3 client implementation
(by sending a large session id to the client). The SSL2 issue was also
noticed by Neohapsis, who have privately demonstrated exploit code for
this issue. CAN-2002-0659 references the ASN1 parser DoS issue.

These vulnerabilities have been addressed for Debian 3.0 (woody) in
openssl094_0.9.4-6.woody.0, openssl095_0.9.5a-6.woody.0 and
openssl_0.9.6c-2.woody.0.

These vulnerabilities are also present in Debian 2.2 (potato), but no
fix is available at this moment.

We recommend you upgrade your OpenSSL as soon as possible. Note that you
should restart any daemons running SSL. (E.g., ssh or ssl-enabled
apache.)

Obtaining updates:

  By hand:
   wget URL
       will fetch the file for you.
   dpkg -i FILENAME.deb
       will install the fetched file.

  With apt:
   deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main
       added to /etc/apt/sources.list will provide security updates

PACKAGE        :openssl
SUMMARY        :denial of service / remote root exploit
DATE           :2002-07-30 16:15:00

- --------------------------------------------------------------------

OVERVIEW

Multiple potentially remotely exploitable vulnerabilities has been found in
OpenSSL.

DETAIL

1. The client master key in SSL2 could be oversized and overrun a
   buffer. This vulnerability was also independently discovered by
   consultants at Neohapsis (
http://www.neohapsis.com/) who have also
   demonstrated that the vulerability is exploitable. Exploit code is
   NOT available at this time.

2. The session ID supplied to a client in SSL3 could be oversized and
   overrun a buffer.

3. The master key supplied to an SSL3 server could be oversized and
   overrun a stack-based buffer. This issues only affects OpenSSL
   0.9.7 before 0.9.7-beta3 with Kerberos enabled.

4. Various buffers for ASCII representations of integers were too
   small on 64 bit platforms.

The full advisory can be read at
http://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20020730.txt

SOLUTION

It is recommended that all Gentoo Linux users update their systems as
follows.

emerge --clean rsync
emerge openssl
emerge clean

After the installation of the updated OpenSSL you should restart the services
that uses OpenSSL, which include such common services as OpenSSH, SSL-Enabled
POP3, IMAP, and SMTP servers, and stunnel-wrapped services as well.

Also, if you have an application that is statically linked to openssl you will
need to reemerge that application to build it against the new OpenSSL.

  EnGarde Secure Linux is a secure distribution of Linux that features
 improved access control, host and network intrusion detection, Web
 based secure remote management, complete e-commerce using AllCommerce,
 and integrated open source security tools.

OVERVIEW
- --------
 There are several potentially exploitable vulnerabilities in the OpenSSL
 toolkit.  A security review of OpenSSL is being done by A.L. Digital Ltd
 and The Bunker (http://www.thebunker.net/) under the DARPA program
 CHATS.  Through this review, the following vulnerabilities were
 discovered:

    1. The client master key in SSL2 could be oversized and overrun a
      buffer. This vulnerability was also independently discovered by
      consultants at Neohapsis (
http://www.neohapsis.com/) who have
      also demonstrated that the vulnerability is exploitable.

    2. The session ID supplied to a client in SSL3 could be oversized and
      overrun a buffer.

    3. Various buffers for ASCII representations of integers were too
      small on 64 bit platforms.

    4. The ASN1 parser can be confused by supplying it with certain
      invalid encodings.

  The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
 assigned the name CAN-2002-0656 to issues 1-2, CAN-2002-0655 to issue 3,
 and CAN-2002-0659 to issue 4.

SOLUTION
- --------
 Users of the EnGarde Professional edition can use the Guardian Digital
 Secure Network to update their systems automatically.

  EnGarde Community users should upgrade to the most recent version
 as outlined in this advisory.  Updates may be obtained from:

    ftp://ftp.engardelinux.org/pub/engarde/stable/updates/
   http://ftp.engardelinux.org/pub/engarde/stable/updates/

  Before upgrading the package, the machine must either:

    a) be booted into a "standard" kernel; or
   b) have LIDS disabled.

  To disable LIDS, execute the command:

    # /sbin/lidsadm -S -- -LIDS_GLOBAL

  To install the updated package, execute the command:

    # rpm -Uvh files

  You must now update the LIDS configuration by executing the command:

    # /usr/sbin/config_lids.pl

  To re-enable LIDS (if it was disabled), execute the command:

    # /sbin/lidsadm -S -- +LIDS_GLOBAL

  To verify the signatures of the updated packages, execute the command:

    # rpm -Kv files

TEXT





---------------------------------------------------------------
   HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY SECURITY BULLETIN: HPSBTL0207-055
   Originally issued: 30 July '02
   ** Rev. 1 ** 06 August '02
---------------------------------------------------------------

The information in the following Security Bulletin should be acted
upon as soon as possible.  Hewlett-Packard Company will not be
liable for any consequences to any customer resulting from the
customer's failure to fully implement instructions in this Security
Bulletin as soon as possible.

Because the vulnerability does not require a HP Secure OS
1.0 patch or re-packaging of the RPM affected by the bulletin, the
RPMs have not been produced or tested by Hewlett-Packard Company.

---------------------------------------------------------------
PROBLEM:  Updated OpenSSL packages fix several vulnerabilities

PLATFORM: Any system running HP Secure OS Software for Linux Release 1.0

DAMAGE:   Potential for remotely exploitable buffer overflow

SOLUTION: Apply the appropriate RPMs (see section B below)

MANUAL ACTIONS: None

AVAILABILITY: The RPMs are available now.

CHANGE SUMMARY: Rev. 1 Updated OpenSSL packages are available
                      (RHSA-2002:160)
---------------------------------------------------------------
A. Background

    OpenSSL is a commercial-grade, full-featured, and Open Source
   toolkit which implements the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3)
   and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) protocols as well as a
   full-strength general purpose cryptography library. A security
   audit of the OpenSSL code sponsored by DARPA found several
   buffer overflows in OpenSSL which affect versions 0.9.7 and
   0.9.6d and earlier.

** Rev. 1 **
>>> Additional OpenSSL security vulnerabilities were found,
   corrected and updated in the RPM packages previously made available
   under Red Hat Security Advisory number RHSA-2002:155.


 B. Fixing the problem

    Hewlett-Packard Company recommends that customers install the RPMs
   listed in the following Red Hat Security Advisory in the section
   labeled "Red Hat Linux 7.1 i386".

** Rev. 1 **
>>> 2002-08-05 RHSA-2002:160  Updated openssl packages fix protocol
                             parsing bugs

>>> http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2002-160.html

    To install the security bulletin RPMs, use the following sequence
   of commands:

    1. If you use the tripwire product, we recommend that you run a
      a consistency check and fix any violations before installing
      the security bulletin RPM.

           tripwire --check --interactive

    2. Install the bulletin RPM from the root account.

           rpm -F <bulletin RPM name>

    3. Update the tripwire database

           tripwire --check --interactive

    NOTE:
   The rpm -q <package name> command can be used to determine if the
   package is installed. Hewlett-Packard Company recommends applying the
   Security Bulletin fixes to installed packages only. The -F option
   to the RPM installer will only apply the fix if the package is
   currently installed on the system. Dependent RPMs can be found by
   using the "Find Latest RPMs" search facility at
   http://www.redhat.com/apps/download. To find the latest dependent
   RPM enter the RPM's name in the "By Keyword" box.


 C. To subscribe to automatically receive future HP Security
   Bulletins from the HP IT Resource Center via electronic

NetBSD Security Advisory 2002-009
=================================
(updated 2002/9/22)

Topic:Multiple vulnerabilities in OpenSSL code

Version:NetBSD-current: source prior to August 10, 2002
NetBSD-1.6 beta: affected
NetBSD-1.5.3: affected
NetBSD-1.5.2: affected
NetBSD-1.5.1: affected
NetBSD-1.5: affected
NetBSD-1.4.*: not applicable
pkgsrc: prior to openssl-0.9.6f

Severity:Potential for remote root exploit

Fixed:NetBSD-current:August 10, 2002
NetBSD-1.6 branch:August 11, 2002 (1.6 includes the fix)
NetBSD-1.5 branch:August 31, 2002
pkgsrc:openssl-0.9.6f (or later)

NOTE: previous advisory had fixed dates prior to August 10.
There were errors found in the vendor-supplied fix, therefore
the fixed dates were modified.  Sorry for the confusion and
thanks for the patience.

NOTE: previous revision of advisory suggested that 1.5 branch
was fixed on August 1, however the fix was found to be
insufficient.  Therefore, users of 1.5 should apply the fix
presented in this revised advisory.  Sorry for the confusion
and thanks for the patience.

NOTE: previous revision of advisory suggested that 1.5 branch
can be fixed by rebuilding part of the source code tree (shared
library).  However, it was incorrect.  Follow the instruction below
and perform a full build.  Sorry for the confusion and thanks for
the patience.


Abstract
========

There are multiple vulnerabilities found in openssl 0.9.6e and prior
releases.  There are four remotely-exploitable buffer overruns in SSL2/3
code.  The ASN1 parser can be confused by invalid encodings (SSL/TLS
code affected).

None of these services are enabled by default in NetBSD, however, by
enabling services built with these libraries, a system would become
vulnerable.

- From the OpenSSL advisory:

  "Everyone using OpenSSL 0.9.6d or earlier, or 0.9.7-beta2 or earlier or
 current development snapshots of 0.9.7 to provide SSL or TLS is
 vulnerable, whether client or server. 0.9.6d servers on 32-bit systems
 with SSL 2.0 disabled are not vulnerable."

After the above advisory was published,
 - 0.9.6e was found to be vulnerable, and 0.9.6f was released.
 - 0.9.6f had some build framework errors, and 0.9.6g was released.

The NetBSD fix includes OpenSSL 0.9.6g.


Technical Details
=================

http://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20020730.txt
http://CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE/advisories/c-integer-overflow.php


Solutions and Workarounds
=========================

The recent NetBSD 1.6 release is not vulnerable to this issue. A full
upgrade to NetBSD 1.6 is the recommended resolution for all users able
to do so. Many security-related improvements have been made, and
indeed this release has been delayed several times in order to include
fixes for a number of recent issues.

The following instructions describe how to upgrade your libcrypto/libssl
binaries by updating your source tree and rebuilding and
installing a new version of libcrypto/libssl.

Be sure to restart running instances of programs that use crypto libraries
(like sshd) after upgrading shared libraries.

If you have any statically-linked binaries that linked against a
vulnerable libcrypto and/or libssl, you need to recompile them.


* NetBSD-current:

Systems running NetBSD-current dated from before 2002-08-10
should be upgraded to NetBSD-current dated 2002-08-10 or later.

The following directories need to be updated from the
netbsd-current CVS branch (aka HEAD):
crypto/Makefile.openssl
crypto/dist/openssl
lib/libcrypto
lib/libssl

To update from CVS, re-build, and re-install libcrypto and libssl:
# cd src
# cvs update -d -P crypto/Makefile.openssl crypto/dist/openssl \
lib/libcrypto lib/libssl

# make includes
# cd lib/libcrypto
# make cleandir dependall
# make install
# cd ../../lib/libssl
# make cleandir dependall
# make install


* NetBSD 1.6 beta:

Systems running NetBSD 1.6 BETAs and Release Candidates should
be upgraded to the NetBSD 1.6 release.

If a source-based point upgrade is required, sources from the
NetBSD 1.6 branch dated 2002-08-11 or later should be used.

The following directories need to be updated from the
netbsd-1-6 CVS branch:
crypto/Makefile.openssl
crypto/dist/openssl
lib/libcrypto
lib/libssl

To update from CVS, re-build, and re-install libcrypto and libssl:
# cd src
# cvs update -d -P -r netbsd-1-6 crypto/Makefile.openssl \
crypto/dist/openssl lib/libcrypto lib/libssl

# make includes
# cd lib/libcrypto
# make cleandir dependall
# make install
# cd ../../lib/libssl
# make cleandir dependall
# make install


* NetBSD 1.5, 1.5.1, 1.5.2, 1.5.3:

Systems running NetBSD-1.5.x dated from before 2002-08-31
should be upgraded to NetBSD-1.5 branch dated 2002-08-31 or later.

The following directories need to be updated from the
netbsd-1-5 CVS branch.  Due to the shlib major bump in libcrypto/libssl
large number of shared libraries has to be rebuilt:
crypto/Makefile.openssl
crypto/dist/openssl
lib/libasn1
lib/libcom_err
lib/libcrypto
lib/libgssapi
lib/libhdb
lib/libkadm
lib/libkadm5clnt
lib/libkadm5srv
lib/libkafs
lib/libkdb
lib/libkrb
lib/libkrb5
lib/libkstream
lib/libroken
lib/libsl
lib/libss
lib/libtelnet
usr.bin/openssl

All userland tools that use openssl needs to be rebuilt, due to the
shlib major bump.  Therefore, full rebuild is suggested.  Make sure to
rebuild all binaries installed by pkgsrc as well.

To update from CVS, re-build, and re-install libcrypto and libssl:
# cd src
# cvs update -d -P -r netbsd-1-5 <directories listed above>

# make build


* NetBSD 1.4, 1.4.1, 1.4.2, 1.4.3:

OpenSSL was not included in the base system in NetBSD-1.4.*
Follow the directions for pkgsrc if you have installed it from
pkgsrc.


* pkgsrc:

openssl (pkgsrc/security/openssl) prior to 0.9.6f are
vulnerable.  Upgrade to openssl-0.9.6f or later; pkgsrc
currently contains 0.9.6g at time of this writing.

Packages which require openssl can be found by running 'pkg_info
openssl'. Depending on the method you choose to update pkgsrc
packages, a rebuild of the packages on that list may be
performed for you by the package system. If you update using the
experimental 'make replace' target, you will need to manually
update any packages which build static binaries with libssl.a
and libcrypto.a

        If you have statically linked binaries in pkgsrc, they have to be
       rebuilt.  Statically linked binaries can be identified by the
       following command (note: be sure to include the directory you install
       pkgsrc binaries to, if you've changed LOCALBASE from the default of
       /usr/pkg)

                file /usr/pkg/{bin,sbin,libexec} | grep static

Description:
 According to an official security advisory from the OpenSSL team,
 there are four remotely exploitable buffer overflows that affect
 various OpenSSL client and server implementations [5]. There are
 also parsing problems in the ASN.1 library used by OpenSSL. The
 Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project assigned the
 ids CAN-2002-0655 [6], CAN-2002-0656 [7], CAN-2002-0657 [8] and
 CAN-2002-0659 [9] to the problems. Several of these vulnerabilities
 could be used by a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the
 target system. All could be used to create a denial of service.

  Please check whether you are affected by running "<prefix>/bin/rpm -q
 openssl". If you have the "openssl" package installed and its version
 is affected (see above), we recommend that you immediately upgrade it
 (see Solution). Additionally, you have to rebuild and reinstall all
 dependent OpenPKG packages, too. [2]

Solution:
 Select the updated source RPM appropriate for your OpenPKG release
 [4], fetch it from the OpenPKG FTP service [3] or a mirror location,
 verify its integrity [1], build a corresponding binary RPM from it
 and update your OpenPKG installation by applying the binary RPM [2].
 For the latest OpenPKG 1.0 release, perform the following operations
 to permanently fix the security problem (for other releases adjust
 accordingly).

  $ ftp ftp.openpkg.org
 ftp> bin
 ftp> cd release/1.0/UPD
 ftp> get openssl-0.9.6b-1.0.1.src.rpm
 ftp> bye
 $ <prefix>/bin/rpm --checksig openssl-0.9.6b-1.0.1.src.rpm
 $ <prefix>/bin/rpm --rebuild openssl-0.9.6b-1.0.1.src.rpm
 $ su -
 # <prefix>/bin/rpm -Fvh <prefix>/RPM/PKG/openssl-0.9.6b-1.0.1.*.rpm

  Now proceed and rebuild and reinstall all dependent OpenPKG packages,
 too (see list above).

Description:

   There are remotely exploitable buffer overflow vulnerabilities in
   OpenSSL versions prior to 0.9.6e.
   These vulnerabilities may allow a remote attacker to execute
   arbitrary code or perform a denial-of-service (DoS) attack.

   These problems are described in the OpenSSL Security Advisory [30
   July 2002]:

     [25]http://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20020730.txt

   These problems are also described in CERT Advisory CA-2002-23:

     [26]http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2002-23.html

Workarounds:

   There are no workarounds against the potential denial-of-service
   attack.  Disabling SSL should prevent remote execution of code.

   Users of Corporate Time Outlook Connector can disable TLS by adding
   the following section to the CTOC.INI file:
   [CTOC]
   allow-tls=FALSE

NOTE:

   Disabling SSL or TLS will result in data being transmitted in the
   clear (i.e. unencrypted), including passwords when using Basic
   Authentication.

Patch Information:

   Patches will be made available on MetaLink for Patch 2492925 as
   scheduled in the following table:

    Content of this advisory:
1) vulnerabilities in openssl libraries; Slapper worm
       2) pending vulnerabilities, solutions, workarounds
       3) standard appendix (further information)

______________________________________________________________________________

1)  problem description, brief discussion, solution, upgrade information

    This advisory is issued in an attempt to clarify any issues
   surrounding the recently discovered Apache/mod_ssl worm.

    On July 30, we released a security advisory concerning vulnerabilities
   in OpenSSL, including a buffer overflow in the SSL code. This
   vulnerability (CVE CAN-2002-0656, also discussed in CERT Advisory
   
http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2002-23.html) is currently being
   exploited by a worm called Slapper, propagating through Apache's
   mod_ssl module.

    It is worth noting that even though the worm infects Apache through
   mod_ssl, this is not a vulnerability in mod_ssl or Apache, but in
   the OpenSSL library used by mod_ssl.

    This also means that Apache may not be the only service vulnerable
   to an attack via the SSL bug. Similar exploits may be possible
   against cyrus-imapd, sendmail with TLS support, or sslwrap-enabled
   services.

    As a workaround, it is also possible to disable SSLv2 in mod_ssl
   (as described in our previous advisory SuSE-SA:2002:027;
   
http://www.suse.com/de/security/2002_027_openssl.html), but you
   should be aware that this does not protect other SSL based servers
   that may be running on your machine.


    We have received numerous inquiries from SuSE users on whether the
   update packages provided by SuSE as part of SA:2002:027 fix this bug
   even though they do not contain the latest OpenSSL version recommended
   in various advisories.

    To clarify this, we would like to state that these packages DO FIX
   the bug exploited by the Slapper worm. Following established policy,
   we did this by applying a source code patch instead of upgrading to
   a newer version, because the latter usually causes serious problems
   for many users (in particular, different versions of OpenSSL libraries
   are not always API compatible).


    However, it turns out that a number of packages were statically
   linked against OpenSSL libraries:

    mod_ssl (SuSE Linux 7.0):
   We have released rebuilt mod_ssl packages linked against the
most recent OpenSSL libraries.

If you run mod_ssl on SuSE Linux 7.0, you must upgrade mod_ssl,
too.

    sendmail-tls (SuSE Linux 7.1, 7.2, 7.3):
Sendmail-tls, the SSL enabled version of sendmail, was linked
statically against OpenSSL on SuSE 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3. The security
impact of this problem is probably the same as with Apache and
mod_ssl.

We are releasing rebuilt packages linked against the most
OpenSSL libraries.

Sendmail-tls is not part of the default installation profile.

If you are using sendmail-tls, we strongly recommend you upgrade
to the latest packages provided on our FTP servers.

    openssh (SuSE Linux 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3):
       Ssh and sshd do not use any SSL functionality, and thus are not
susceptible to the type of attack carried out by the Slapper worm.

To date, we are not aware of any way to exploit them. We nevertheless
recommend to upgrade to the latest versions provided on our FTP site.

    freeswan (SuSE Linux 7.1, 7.2):
   FreeSWAN includes a utility named fswcert for creating and
manipulating X.509 certificates, which is also linked statically
against libcrypto.

To date, we are not aware of any way to exploit them. We
nevertheless recommend to upgrade to the latest versions provided
on our FTP site as soon as they become available (2002 Sep 20).

2)  Pending vulnerabilities in SuSE Distributions and Workarounds:

    mod_php4:
   we are preparing an update of mod_php4 addressing various
vulnerabilities that have been published recently.

______________________________________________________________________________

3)  standard appendix: authenticity verification, additional information

  - Package authenticity verification:

    SuSE update packages are available on many mirror ftp servers all over
   the world. While this service is being considered valuable and important
   to the free and open source software community, many users wish to be
   sure about the origin of the package and its content before installing
   the package. There are two verification methods that can be used
   independently from each other to prove the authenticity of a downloaded
   file or rpm package:
   1) md5sums as provided in the (cryptographically signed) announcement.
   2) using the internal gpg signatures of the rpm package.

    1) execute the command
       md5sum <name-of-the-file.rpm>
      after you downloaded the file from a SuSE ftp server or its mirrors.
      Then, compare the resulting md5sum with the one that is listed in the
      announcement. Since the announcement containing the checksums is
      cryptographically signed (usually using the key security@suse.de),
      the checksums show proof of the authenticity of the package.
      We disrecommend to subscribe to security lists which cause the
      email message containing the announcement to be modified so that
      the signature does not match after transport through the mailing
      list software.
      Downsides: You must be able to verify the authenticity of the
      announcement in the first place. If RPM packages are being rebuilt
      and a new version of a package is published on the ftp server, all
      md5 sums for the files are useless.

    2) rpm package signatures provide an easy way to verify the authenticity
      of an rpm package. Use the command
       rpm -v --checksig <file.rpm>
      to verify the signature of the package, where <file.rpm> is the
      filename of the rpm package that you have downloaded. Of course,
      package authenticity verification can only target an uninstalled rpm
      package file.
      Prerequisites:
       a) gpg is installed
       b) The package is signed using a certain key. The public part of this
          key must be installed by the gpg program in the directory
          ~/.gnupg/ under the user's home directory who performs the
          signature verification (usually root). You can import the key
          that is used by SuSE in rpm packages for SuSE Linux by saving
          this announcement to a file ("announcement.txt") and
          running the command (do "su -" to be root):
           gpg --batch; gpg < announcement.txt | gpg --import
          SuSE Linux distributions version 7.1 and thereafter install the
          key "build@suse.de" upon installation or upgrade, provided that
          the package gpg is installed. The file containing the public key
          is placed at the toplevel directory of the first CD (pubring.gpg)
          and at
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/pubring.gpg-build.suse.de .


  - SuSE runs two security mailing lists to which any interested party may
   subscribe:

    suse-security@suse.com
       -   general/linux/SuSE security discussion.

Addition to Trustix Secure Linux Bugfix Advisory #2002-0063

Package name:      openssl
Summary:           Restart services
Date:              2002-08-01
Affected versions: TSL 1.1, 1.2, 1.5

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Problem description:
 I really hope all of you have updated the openssl package. :)

  Most of you know this already, and I'm sorry I didn't include this in
 the openssl advisory earlier this week. But here it goes:

  Since openssl is a shared library, all services linked against this
 library must be restarted for the changes to take affect.

  The list of services is long and includes (but are not limited to):

   httpd (mod_php4 is linked against libssl)
  httpsd
  simap
  pop3s
  postfix
  postgresql
  smb (maybe also winbind)
  sshd


Action:
 We recommend that all services that are linked against openssl are
 restarted.

Inktomi Corporation Not Affected

Updated:  September 17, 2002

Status

Not Affected

Vendor Statement

As noted in the advisory, server log messages such as

GET /mod_ssl:error:HTTP-request HTTP/1.0

do not necessarily indicate access by a compromised system. Any HTTP request to a port expecting to serve HTTPS requests will generate this log message.  The Inktomi web crawler follows URL links published on public web pages and is sometimes incorrectly directed to https servers.  The crawler does not use Apache nor mod_ssl (nor any kind of SSL), so it is not subject to the compromise described in this advisory. But crawler requests can match two of the listed symptoms of the Apache/mod_ssl worm:

                      Probing -- Scanning on 80/tcp
                     Propagation -- Connections to 443/tcp

The crawler does not use port 2002 nor UDP.  Port 80 access or HTTPS handshake errors from an Inktomi web crawler do not represent an attack on your web server.

Inktomi crawler systems have hostnames of the form

    j[1-9][0-9][0-9][0-9].inktomisearch.com
   si[1-9][0-9][0-9][0-9].inktomisearch.com


The IP addresses of Inktomi crawler hosts will reverse-DNS resolve to a name of this form.

Vendor Information

The vendor has not provided us with any further information regarding this vulnerability.

Addendum

The advisory mentioned in the statement above refers to CERT® Advisory CA-2002-27 Apache/mod_ssl Worm. It had initially misidentified early reports of log entries containing "GET /mod_ssl:error:HTTP-request HTTP/1.0" as potential signs of infection with the Apache/mod_ssk "Slapper" Worm.

If you have feedback, comments, or additional information about this vulnerability, please send us email.
