Advisories MDVSA-2010:076-1: openssl

[paul]

This update fixes several security issues in openssl:

- The ssl3_get_record function in ssl/s3_pkt.c in OpenSSL 0.9.8f

through 0.9.8m allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service

(crash) via a malformed record in a TLS connection (CVE-2010-0740)

- OpenSSL before 0.9.8m does not check for a NULL return value

from bn_wexpand function calls which has unspecified impact and

context-dependent attack vectors (CVE-2009-3245)

- The kssl_keytab_is_available function in ssl/kssl.c in OpenSSL

before 0.9.8n, when Kerberos is enabled but Kerberos configuration

files cannot be opened, could allow remote attackers to cause a denial

of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) (CVE-2010-0433)

- Finally, this update provides support for secure renegotiation,

preventing men-in-the-middle attacks (CVE-2009-3555).
