Descriptions
Memory leak in the SRP_VBASE_get_by_user implementation in OpenSSL 1.0.1 before 1.0.1s and 1.0.2 before 1.0.2g allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by providing an invalid username in a connection attempt, related to apps/s_server.c and crypto/srp/srp_vfy.c.
Fuga de memoria en la implementación de SRP_VBASE_get_by_user en OpenSSL 1.0.1 en versiones anteriores a 1.0.1s y 1.0.2 en versiones anteriores a 1.0.2g permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (consumo de memoria) proporcionando un nombre de usuario no válido en un intento de conexión, relacionada con apps/s_server.c y crypto/srp/srp_vfy.c.
An update that contains security fixes can now be installed. This update for openssl fixes various security issues. OpenSSL was vulnerable to a cross-protocol attack that could lead to decryption of TLS sessions by using a server supporting SSLv2 and EXPORT cipher suites as a Bleichenbacher RSA padding oracle. This update changes the openssl library to. Disable SSLv2 protocol support by default. This can be overridden by setting the environment variable "OPENSSL_ALLOW_SSL2" or by using SSL_CTX_clear_options using the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 flag. Note that various services and clients had already disabled SSL protocol 2 by default previously. Disable all weak EXPORT ciphers by default. These can be reenabled if required by old legacy software using the environment variable "OPENSSL_ALLOW_EXPORT".
