Summary:
Several security issues were fixed in OpenSSL.
Software Description:
– openssl: Secure Socket Layer (SSL) cryptographic library and tools
Details:
Anton Johansson discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled certain invalid
TLS handshakes. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause OpenSSL to
crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2013-4353)
Ron Barber discovered that OpenSSL used an incorrect data structure to
obtain a version number. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause
OpenSSL to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2013-6449)
Dmitry Sobinov discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled certain DTLS
retransmissions. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause OpenSSL to
crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2013-6450)
This update also disables the default use of the RdRand feature of certain
Intel CPUs as the sole source of entropy.
