High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
OpenSSL versions prior to 0.9.8d
Description:
The issue affects the OpenSSL package, allowing remote exploitation that may lead to a breach of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. This can be achieved through remote attack vectors, including a long list of ciphers, potentially leading to a buffer overflow in the
SSL get shared ciphers function. The vulnerability may also enable an attacker to cause a denial of service or gain access to encrypted data without knowledge of the encryption key.Recommendations:
For OpenSSL versions prior to 0.9.8d, update to version 0.9.8d or later to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the
SSL get shared ciphers function until a patch is available.Fix
Buffer Overflow
