An update for openssl is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

OpenSSL is a toolkit that implements the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols, as well as a full-strength general-purpose cryptography library.

Security Fix(es) :

* A flaw was found in the way OpenSSL encoded certain ASN.1 data structures. An attacker could use this flaw to create a specially crafted certificate which, when verified or re-encoded by OpenSSL, could cause it to crash, or execute arbitrary code using the permissions of the user running an application compiled against the OpenSSL library. (CVE-2016-2108)

* Two integer overflow flaws, leading to buffer overflows, were found in the way the EVP_EncodeUpdate() and EVP_EncryptUpdate() functions of OpenSSL parsed very large amounts of input data. A remote attacker could use these flaws to crash an application using OpenSSL or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running that application. (CVE-2016-2105, CVE-2016-2106)

* It was discovered that OpenSSL leaked timing information when decrypting TLS/SSL and DTLS protocol encrypted records when the connection used the AES CBC cipher suite and the server supported AES-NI. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to retrieve plain text from encrypted packets by using a TLS/SSL or DTLS server as a padding oracle. (CVE-2016-2107)

* Several flaws were found in the way BIO_*printf functions were implemented in OpenSSL. Applications which passed large amounts of untrusted data through these functions could crash or potentially execute code with the permissions of the user running such an application. (CVE-2016-0799, CVE-2016-2842)

* A denial of service flaw was found in the way OpenSSL parsed certain ASN.1-encoded data from BIO (OpenSSL's I/O abstraction) inputs. An application using OpenSSL that accepts untrusted ASN.1 BIO input could be forced to allocate an excessive amount of data. (CVE-2016-2109)

According to its self-reported version, the Cisco TelePresence Video Communication Server (VCS) / Expressway running on the remote host is 8.x prior to 8.8. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A security feature bypass vulnerability exists, known as     Bar Mitzvah, due to improper combination of state data     with key data by the RC4 cipher algorithm during the     initialization phase. A man-in-the-middle attacker can     exploit this, via a brute-force attack using LSB values,     to decrypt the traffic. (CVE-2015-2808)

  - A flaw exists in the web framework of TelePresence Video     Communication Server (VCS) Expressway due to missing     authorization checks on certain administrative pages. An     authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     bypass read-only restrictions and install Tandberg Linux     Packages (TLPs) without proper authorization.
    (CVE-2015-6413)

  - A flaw exists in certificate management and validation     for the Mobile and Remote Access (MRA) component due to     improper input validation of a trusted certificate. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, using     a trusted certificate, to bypass authentication and gain     access to internal HTTP system resources.
    (CVE-2016-1444)

  - A heap buffer overflow condition exists in the     EVP_EncodeUpdate() function within file     crypto/evp/encode.c that is triggered when handling     a large amount of input data. An unauthenticated, remote     attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service     condition. (CVE-2016-2105)

  - A heap buffer overflow condition exists in the     EVP_EncryptUpdate() function within file     crypto/evp/evp_enc.c that is triggered when handling a     large amount of input data after a previous call occurs     to the same function with a partial block. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-2106)

  - Multiple flaws exist in the aesni_cbc_hmac_sha1_cipher()     function in file crypto/evp/e_aes_cbc_hmac_sha1.c and     the aesni_cbc_hmac_sha256_cipher() function in file     crypto/evp/e_aes_cbc_hmac_sha256.c that are triggered     when the connection uses an AES-CBC cipher and AES-NI     is supported by the server. A man-in-the-middle attacker     can exploit these to conduct a padding oracle attack,     resulting in the ability to decrypt the network traffic.
    (CVE-2016-2107)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the     ASN.1 encoder due to an underflow condition that occurs     when attempting to encode the value zero represented as     a negative integer. An unauthenticated, remote attacker     can exploit this to corrupt memory, resulting in the     execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-2108)

  - Multiple unspecified flaws exist in the d2i BIO     functions when reading ASN.1 data from a BIO due to     invalid encoding causing a large allocation of memory.
    An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these to     cause a denial of service condition through resource     exhaustion. (CVE-2016-2109)

  - An out-of-bounds read error exists in the     X509_NAME_oneline() function within file     crypto/x509/x509_obj.c when handling very long ASN.1     strings. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit     this to disclose the contents of stack memory.
    (CVE-2016-2176)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the     file system permissions due to certain files having     overly permissive permissions. An unauthenticated, local     attacker can exploit this to disclose sensitive     information. (Cisco bug ID CSCuw55636)

Note that Cisco bug ID CSCuw55636 and CVE-2015-6413 only affect versions 8.6.x prior to 8.8.

The self-reported SGOS version installed on the remote Blue Coat ProxySG device is 6.5.x prior to 6.5.9.8 or 6.6.x prior to 6.6.4.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities in its bundled version of OpenSSL :

  - Multiple flaws exist in the aesni_cbc_hmac_sha1_cipher()     function in file crypto/evp/e_aes_cbc_hmac_sha1.c and     the aesni_cbc_hmac_sha256_cipher() function in file     crypto/evp/e_aes_cbc_hmac_sha256.c that are triggered     when the connection uses an AES-CBC cipher and AES-NI     is supported by the server. A man-in-the-middle attacker     can exploit these to conduct a padding oracle attack,     resulting in the ability to decrypt the network traffic.
    Note that this issue does not affect the SG300 and SG600     hardware platforms. (CVE-2016-2107)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the     ASN.1 encoder due to an underflow condition that occurs     when attempting to encode the value zero represented as     a negative integer. An unauthenticated, remote attacker     can exploit this to corrupt memory, resulting in the     execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-2108)

  - Multiple unspecified flaws exist in the d2i BIO     functions when reading ASN.1 data from a BIO due to     invalid encoding causing a large allocation of memory.
    An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these to     cause a denial of service condition through resource     exhaustion. Note that this issue only affects management     connections. (CVE-2016-2109)

The remote Oracle Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2016-3558 advisory.

  - The fmtstr function in crypto/bio/b_print.c in OpenSSL 1.0.1 before 1.0.1s and 1.0.2 before 1.0.2g     improperly calculates string lengths, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (overflow     and out-of-bounds read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a long string, as demonstrated by a     large amount of ASN.1 data, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-2842. (CVE-2016-0799)

  - Integer overflow in the EVP_EncodeUpdate function in crypto/evp/encode.c in OpenSSL before 1.0.1t and     1.0.2 before 1.0.2h allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) via a     large amount of binary data. (CVE-2016-2105)

  - The AES-NI implementation in OpenSSL before 1.0.1t and 1.0.2 before 1.0.2h does not consider memory     allocation during a certain padding check, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive cleartext     information via a padding-oracle attack against an AES CBC session. NOTE: this vulnerability exists     because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2013-0169. (CVE-2016-2107)

  - The doapr_outch function in crypto/bio/b_print.c in OpenSSL 1.0.1 before 1.0.1s and 1.0.2 before 1.0.2g     does not verify that a certain memory allocation succeeds, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial     of service (out-of-bounds write or memory consumption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a     long string, as demonstrated by a large amount of ASN.1 data, a different vulnerability than     CVE-2016-0799. (CVE-2016-2842)

  - Integer overflow in the EVP_EncryptUpdate function in crypto/evp/evp_enc.c in OpenSSL before 1.0.1t and     1.0.2 before 1.0.2h allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) via a     large amount of data. (CVE-2016-2106)

  - The ASN.1 implementation in OpenSSL before 1.0.1o and 1.0.2 before 1.0.2c allows remote attackers to     execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (buffer underflow and memory corruption) via an ANY     field in crafted serialized data, aka the negative zero issue. (CVE-2016-2108)

  - The asn1_d2i_read_bio function in crypto/asn1/a_d2i_fp.c in the ASN.1 BIO implementation in OpenSSL before     1.0.1t and 1.0.2 before 1.0.2h allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption)     via a short invalid encoding. (CVE-2016-2109)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Oracle VM VirtualBox application installed on the remote host is a version prior to 5.0.22. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities in the bundled OpenSSL component :

  - A heap buffer overflow condition exists in the     EVP_EncodeUpdate() function within file     crypto/evp/encode.c that is triggered when handling     a large amount of input data. An unauthenticated, remote     attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service     condition. (CVE-2016-2105)

  - A heap buffer overflow condition exists in the     EVP_EncryptUpdate() function within file     crypto/evp/evp_enc.c that is triggered when handling a     large amount of input data after a previous call occurs     to the same function with a partial block. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-2106)

  - Flaws exist in the aesni_cbc_hmac_sha1_cipher()     function in file crypto/evp/e_aes_cbc_hmac_sha1.c and     the aesni_cbc_hmac_sha256_cipher() function in file     crypto/evp/e_aes_cbc_hmac_sha256.c that are triggered     when the connection uses an AES-CBC cipher and AES-NI     is supported by the server. A man-in-the-middle attacker     can exploit these to conduct a padding oracle attack,     resulting in the ability to decrypt the network traffic.
    (CVE-2016-2107)

  - Multiple unspecified flaws exist in the d2i BIO     functions when reading ASN.1 data from a BIO due to     invalid encoding causing a large allocation of memory.
    An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these to     cause a denial of service condition through resource     exhaustion. (CVE-2016-2109)

  - An out-of-bounds read error exists in the     X509_NAME_oneline() function within file     crypto/x509/x509_obj.c when handling very long ASN1     strings. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit     this to disclose the contents of stack memory.
    (CVE-2016-2176)

According to its banner, the version of OpenSSL on the remote host is 1.0.1 prior to 1.0.1t, or 1.0.2 prior to 1.0.2h. It is therefore affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - A flaw exists in 'crypto/asn1/a_d2i_fp.c', which is triggered during the handling of large length fields in ASN.1 BIO. This may allow a remote attacker to exhaust memory resources, potentially crashing a process linked against the library.
 - A flaw exists in the 'aesni_cbc_hmac_sha1_cipher()' function in 'crypto/evp/e_aes_cbc_hmac_sha1.c' and 'aesni_cbc_hmac_sha256_cipher()' function in 'crypto/evp/e_aes_cbc_hmac_sha256.c'. The issue is triggered when a connection uses an AES CBC cipher and AES-NI is supported by the server. This may allow a MitM (Man-in-the-Middle) attacker to conduct a padding oracle attack to potentially decrypt traffic.
 - A flaw in the 'X509_NAME_oneline()' function in 'crypto/x509/x509_obj.c' that is triggered when handling overly long ASN1 strings. This may allow a remote attacker to potentially disclose arbitrary stack memory contents.
 - An overflow condition in the 'EVP_EncryptUpdate()' function in 'crypto/evp/evp_enc.c' is triggered when handling a large amount of input data after a previous call to the same function with a partial block. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to cause a heap-based buffer overflow, crashing a process linked against the library or potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.
 - An overflow condition in the 'EVP_EncodeUpdate()' function in 'crypto/evp/encode.c' is triggered when handling a large amount of input data. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to cause a heap-based buffer overflow, crashing a process linked against the library or potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.
