Severity: Normal
Title: OpenSSL: Alternate chains certificate forgery
Date: July 10, 2015
Bugs: #554172
ID: 201507-15

– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

Synopsis
========

Certain checks on untrusted certificates can be bypassed.

Background
==========

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

Affected packages
=================

——————————————————————-
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
——————————————————————-
1 dev-libs/openssl < 1.0.1p >= 1.0.1p

Description
===========

During certificate verification, OpenSSL attempts to find an
alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a
chain fails.

Impact
======

A remote attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted
certificates to be bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use
a valid leaf certificate to act as a CA and “issue” an invalid
certificate.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All OpenSSL users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge –sync
# emerge –ask –oneshot –verbose “>=dev-libs/openssl-1.0.1p”

References
==========
