Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
OpenSSL versions prior to 1.0.0j
OpenSSL versions prior to 0.9.8y
Description
The issue affects the OpenSSL package in Gentoo Linux, potentially leading to breaches in confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. Exploitation can be done remotely. A specific function,
mime param cmp, in crypto/asn1/asn mime.c is vulnerable, allowing remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted S/MIME message.Recommendations
For versions prior to 1.0.0j, update to version 1.0.0j or later.
For versions prior to 0.9.8y, update to version 0.9.8y or later.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the
mime param cmp function in crypto/asn1/asn mime.c until a patch is available.Fix
