Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1451-1
May 24, 2012

openssl vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 11.10
- Ubuntu 11.04
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 8.04 LTS

Summary:

Applications using OpenSSL in certain situations could be made to
crash or expose sensitive information.

Software Description:
- openssl: Secure Socket Layer (SSL) cryptographic library and tools

Details:

Ivan Nestlerode discovered that the Cryptographic Message Syntax
(CMS) and PKCS #7 implementations in OpenSSL returned early if RSA
decryption failed. This could allow an attacker to expose sensitive
information via a Million Message Attack (MMA). (CVE-2012-0884)

It was discovered that an integer underflow was possible when using
TLS 1.1, TLS 1.2, or DTLS with CBC encryption. This could allow a
remote attacker to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2012-2333)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
libssl1.0.0 1.0.1-4ubuntu5.2
openssl 1.0.1-4ubuntu5.2

Ubuntu 11.10:
libssl1.0.0 1.0.0e-2ubuntu4.6
openssl 1.0.0e-2ubuntu4.6

Ubuntu 11.04:
libssl0.9.8 0.9.8o-5ubuntu1.7
openssl 0.9.8o-5ubuntu1.7

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
libssl0.9.8 0.9.8k-7ubuntu8.13
openssl 0.9.8k-7ubuntu8.13

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS:
libssl0.9.8 0.9.8g-4ubuntu3.19
openssl 0.9.8g-4ubuntu3.19

After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.
