Descriptions

The ssl3_get_cert_verify function in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 1.0.0 before 1.0.0p and 1.0.1 before 1.0.1k accepts client authentication with a Diffie-Hellman (DH) certificate without requiring a CertificateVerify message, which allows remote attackers to obtain access without knowledge of a private key via crafted TLS Handshake Protocol traffic to a server that recognizes a Certification Authority with DH support.

La función ssl3_get_cert_verify en s3_srvr.c en OpenSSL 1.0.0 anterior a 1.0.0p y 1.0.1 anterior a 1.0.1k acepta la autenticación de clientes con un certificado Diffie-Hellman (DH) sin necesidad de un mensaje CertificateVerify, lo que permite a atacantes remotos obtener el acceso sin conocimiento de una clave privada a través de trafico TLS Handshake Protocol manipulado a un servidor que reconoce una autoridad de certificación con soporte DH.

It was found that an OpenSSL server would, under certain conditions, accept Diffie-Hellman client certificates without the use of a private key. An attacker could use a user's client certificate to authenticate as that user, without needing the private key.
