40 OpenSSL is an Open Source toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer
41 (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) as well as a general
42 purpose cryptography library.

47 Ossi Herrala and Jukka Taimisto of Codenomicon discovered two
48 vulnerabilities:
49 </p>
50 <ul>
51 <li>
52 A double free() call in the TLS server name extension (CVE-2008-0891).
53 </li>
54 <li>
55 The OpenSSL client code does not properly handle servers that omit the
56 Server Key Exchange message in the TLS handshake (CVE-2008-1672).
57 </li>
58 </ul>
59 </description>
60 <impact type="normal">
61 <p>
62 A remote attacker could connect to a vulnerable server, or entice a
63 daemon to connect to a malicious server, causing a Denial of Service of
64 the daemon in both cases.
65 </p>
66 </impact>
67 <workaround>
68 <p>
69 There is no known workaround at this time.
70 </p>
71 </workaround>
72 <resolution>
73 <p>
74 All OpenSSL users should upgrade to the latest version:
75 </p>
76 <code>
77 # emerge --sync
78 # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=dev-libs/openssl-0.9.8g-r2&quot;</code>
79 </resolution>
