                        SCO Security Advisory

Subject: Linux: several recently discovered openssl vulnerabilities
Advisory number: CSSA-2003-014.0
Issue date: 2003 March 21
Cross reference:
______________________________________________________________________________

1. Problem Description

        Dan Boneh and David Brumley have successfully implemented an
        RSA timing attack against openssl. This updated version guards
        against this attack. In an upcoming paper, Brice Canvel (EPFL),
        Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and Martin Vuagnoux
        (EPFL, Ilion) describe and demonstrate a timing-based attack on
        CBC ciphersuites in SSL and TLS.

2. Vulnerable Supported Versions

        System Package
        ----------------------------------------------------------------------

        OpenLinux 3.1.1 Server prior to openssl-0.9.6-21.i386.rpm
                                        prior to openssl-devel-0.9.6-21.i386.rpm
                                        prior to openssl-devel-static-0.9.6-21.i386.rpm

        OpenLinux 3.1.1 Workstation prior to openssl-0.9.6-21.i386.rpm
                                        prior to openssl-devel-0.9.6-21.i386.rpm
                                        prior to openssl-devel-static-0.9.6-21.i386.rpm

        OpenLinux 3.1 Server prior to openssl-0.9.6-21.i386.rpm
                                        prior to openssl-devel-0.9.6-21.i386.rpm
                                        prior to openssl-devel-static-0.9.6-21.i386.rpm

        OpenLinux 3.1 Workstation prior to openssl-0.9.6-21.i386.rpm
                                        prior to openssl-devel-0.9.6-21.i386.rpm
                                        prior to openssl-devel-static-0.9.6-21.i386.rpm

3. Solution

        The proper solution is to install the latest packages. Many
        customers find it easier to use the Caldera System Updater, called
        cupdate (or kcupdate under the KDE environment), to update these
        packages rather than downloading and installing them by hand.
