Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
stunnel does not properly prevent the authentication of a revoked |
19 |
certificate which would be published by OCSP. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |
The stunnel program is designed to work as an SSL encryption wrapper |
25 |
between a remote client and a local or remote server. OCSP (Online |
26 |
Certificate Status Protocol), as described in RFC 2560, is an internet |
27 |
protocol used for obtaining the revocation status of an X.509 digital |
28 |
certificate. |

Description |
39 |
=========== |
40 |
|
41 |
An unspecified bug in the OCSP search functionality of stunnel has been |
42 |
discovered. |
43 |
|
44 |
Impact |
45 |
====== |
46 |
|
47 |
A remote attacker can use a revoked certificate that would be |
48 |
successfully authenticated by stunnel. This issue only concerns the |
49 |
users who have enabled the OCSP validation in stunnel. |
50 |
|
51 |
Workaround |
52 |
========== |
53 |
|
54 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
55 |
|
56 |
Resolution |
57 |
========== |
58 |
|
59 |
All stunnel users should upgrade to the latest version: |
60 |
|
61 |
# emerge --sync |
62 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-misc/stunnel-1.2.3" |
