Synopsis:          Important: openssl security update
Advisory ID:       SLSA-2014:1652-1
Issue Date:        2014-10-16
CVE Numbers:       CVE-2014-3566
                   CVE-2014-3513
                   CVE-2014-3567
--

This update adds support for the TLS Fallback Signaling Cipher Suite Value
(TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV), which can be used to prevent protocol downgrade
attacks against applications which re-connect using a lower SSL/TLS
protocol version when the initial connection indicating the highest
supported protocol version fails.

This can prevent a forceful downgrade of the communication to SSL 3.0. The
SSL 3.0 protocol was found to be vulnerable to the padding oracle attack
when using block cipher suites in cipher block chaining (CBC) mode. This
issue is identified as CVE-2014-3566, and also known under the alias
POODLE. This SSL 3.0 protocol flaw will not be addressed in a future
update; it is recommended that users configure their applications to
require at least TLS protocol version 1.0 for secure communication.

For additional information about this flaw, see Upstream's Knowledgebase article
at https://access.redhat.com/articles/1232123

A memory leak flaw was found in the way OpenSSL parsed the DTLS Secure
Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP) extension data. A remote attacker
could send multiple specially crafted handshake messages to exhaust all
available memory of an SSL/TLS or DTLS server. (CVE-2014-3513)

A memory leak flaw was found in the way an OpenSSL handled failed session
ticket integrity checks. A remote attacker could exhaust all available
memory of an SSL/TLS or DTLS server by sending a large number of invalid
session tickets to that server. (CVE-2014-3567)

CVE-2014-3566 issue and correct the CVE-2014-3513 and CVE-2014-3567
issues. For the update to take effect, all services linked to the OpenSSL
library (such as httpd and other SSL-enabled services) must be restarted
or the system rebooted.
