                     NetBSD Security Advisory 2002-009
                     =================================
                     (updated 2002/9/22)

    Topic: Multiple vulnerabilities in OpenSSL code

    Version: NetBSD-current: source prior to August 10, 2002
                    NetBSD-1.6 beta: affected
                    NetBSD-1.5.3: affected
                    NetBSD-1.5.2: affected
                    NetBSD-1.5.1: affected
                    NetBSD-1.5: affected
                    NetBSD-1.4.*: not applicable
                    pkgsrc: prior to openssl-0.9.6f

    Severity: Potential for remote root exploit

    Fixed: NetBSD-current: August 10, 2002
                    NetBSD-1.6 branch: August 11, 2002 (1.6 includes the fix)
                    NetBSD-1.5 branch: August 31, 2002
                    pkgsrc: openssl-0.9.6f (or later)

            NOTE: previous advisory had fixed dates prior to August 10.
            There were errors found in the vendor-supplied fix, therefore
            the fixed dates were modified. Sorry for the confusion and
            thanks for the patience.

            NOTE: previous revision of advisory suggested that 1.5 branch
            was fixed on August 1, however the fix was found to be
            insufficient. Therefore, users of 1.5 should apply the fix
            presented in this revised advisory. Sorry for the confusion
            and thanks for the patience.

            NOTE: previous revision of advisory suggested that 1.5 branch
            can be fixed by rebuilding part of the source code tree (shared
            library). However, it was incorrect. Follow the instruction below
            and perform a full build. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for
            the patience.

    Abstract
    ========

    There are multiple vulnerabilities found in openssl 0.9.6e and prior
    releases. There are four remotely-exploitable buffer overruns in SSL2/3
    code. The ASN1 parser can be confused by invalid encodings (SSL/TLS
    code affected).

    None of these services are enabled by default in NetBSD, however, by
    enabling services built with these libraries, a system would become
    vulnerable.

    - From the OpenSSL advisory:

      "Everyone using OpenSSL 0.9.6d or earlier, or 0.9.7-beta2 or earlier or
      current development snapshots of 0.9.7 to provide SSL or TLS is
      vulnerable, whether client or server. 0.9.6d servers on 32-bit systems
      with SSL 2.0 disabled are not vulnerable."

    After the above advisory was published,
      - 0.9.6e was found to be vulnerable, and 0.9.6f was released.
      - 0.9.6f had some build framework errors, and 0.9.6g was released.

    The NetBSD fix includes OpenSSL 0.9.6g.

    Solutions and Workarounds
    =========================

    The recent NetBSD 1.6 release is not vulnerable to this issue. A full
    upgrade to NetBSD 1.6 is the recommended resolution for all users able
    to do so. Many security-related improvements have been made, and
    indeed this release has been delayed several times in order to include
    fixes for a number of recent issues.

    The following instructions describe how to upgrade your libcrypto/libssl
    binaries by updating your source tree and rebuilding and
    installing a new version of libcrypto/libssl.

    Be sure to restart running instances of programs that use crypto libraries
    (like sshd) after upgrading shared libraries.

    If you have any statically-linked binaries that linked against a
    vulnerable libcrypto and/or libssl, you need to recompile them.

    * NetBSD-current:

            Systems running NetBSD-current dated from before 2002-08-10
            should be upgraded to NetBSD-current dated 2002-08-10 or later.

            The following directories need to be updated from the
            netbsd-current CVS branch (aka HEAD):
                    crypto/Makefile.openssl
                    crypto/dist/openssl
                    lib/libcrypto
                    lib/libssl

            To update from CVS, re-build, and re-install libcrypto and libssl:
                    # cd src
                    # cvs update -d -P crypto/Makefile.openssl crypto/dist/openssl \
                            lib/libcrypto lib/libssl

                    # make includes
                    # cd lib/libcrypto
                    # make cleandir dependall
                    # make install
                    # cd ../../lib/libssl
                    # make cleandir dependall
                    # make install

    * NetBSD 1.6 beta:

            Systems running NetBSD 1.6 BETAs and Release Candidates should
            be upgraded to the NetBSD 1.6 release.

            If a source-based point upgrade is required, sources from the
            NetBSD 1.6 branch dated 2002-08-11 or later should be used.

            The following directories need to be updated from the
            netbsd-1-6 CVS branch:
                    crypto/Makefile.openssl
                    crypto/dist/openssl
                    lib/libcrypto
                    lib/libssl

            To update from CVS, re-build, and re-install libcrypto and libssl:
                    # cd src
                    # cvs update -d -P -r netbsd-1-6 crypto/Makefile.openssl \
                            crypto/dist/openssl lib/libcrypto lib/libssl

                    # make includes
                    # cd lib/libcrypto
                    # make cleandir dependall
                    # make install
                    # cd ../../lib/libssl
                    # make cleandir dependall
                    # make install

    * NetBSD 1.5, 1.5.1, 1.5.2, 1.5.3:

            Systems running NetBSD-1.5.x dated from before 2002-08-31
            should be upgraded to NetBSD-1.5 branch dated 2002-08-31 or later.

            The following directories need to be updated from the
            netbsd-1-5 CVS branch. Due to the shlib major bump in libcrypto/libssl
            large number of shared libraries has to be rebuilt:
                    crypto/Makefile.openssl
                    crypto/dist/openssl
                    lib/libasn1
                    lib/libcom_err
                    lib/libcrypto
                    lib/libgssapi
                    lib/libhdb
                    lib/libkadm
                    lib/libkadm5clnt
                    lib/libkadm5srv
                    lib/libkafs
                    lib/libkdb
                    lib/libkrb
                    lib/libkrb5
                    lib/libkstream
                    lib/libroken
                    lib/libsl
                    lib/libss
                    lib/libtelnet
                    usr.bin/openssl

            All userland tools that use openssl needs to be rebuilt, due to the
            shlib major bump. Therefore, full rebuild is suggested. Make sure to
            rebuild all binaries installed by pkgsrc as well.

            To update from CVS, re-build, and re-install libcrypto and libssl:
                    # cd src
                    # cvs update -d -P -r netbsd-1-5 <directories listed above>

                    # make build

    * NetBSD 1.4, 1.4.1, 1.4.2, 1.4.3:

            OpenSSL was not included in the base system in NetBSD-1.4.*
            Follow the directions for pkgsrc if you have installed it from
            pkgsrc.

    * pkgsrc:

            openssl (pkgsrc/security/openssl) prior to 0.9.6f are
            vulnerable. Upgrade to openssl-0.9.6f or later; pkgsrc
            currently contains 0.9.6g at time of this writing.

            Packages which require openssl can be found by running 'pkg_info
            openssl'. Depending on the method you choose to update pkgsrc
            packages, a rebuild of the packages on that list may be
            performed for you by the package system. If you update using the
            experimental 'make replace' target, you will need to manually
            update any packages which build static binaries with libssl.a
            and libcrypto.a

            If you have statically linked binaries in pkgsrc, they have to be
            rebuilt. Statically linked binaries can be identified by the
            following command (note: be sure to include the directory you install
            pkgsrc binaries to, if you've changed LOCALBASE from the default of
            /usr/pkg)

                    file /usr/pkg/{bin,sbin,libexec} | grep static
