    Subject: Linux: several recently discovered openssl vulnerabilities
    Advisory number: CSSA-2003-014.0
    Issue date: 2003 March 21

    1. Problem Description

            Dan Boneh and David Brumley have successfully implemented an
            RSA timing attack against openssl. This updated version guards
            against this attack. In an upcoming paper, Brice Canvel (EPFL),
            Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and Martin Vuagnoux
            (EPFL, Ilion) describe and demonstrate a timing-based attack on
            CBC ciphersuites in SSL and TLS.

    2. Vulnerable Supported Versions

            System Package
            ----------------------------------------------------------------------

            OpenLinux 3.1.1 Server prior to openssl-0.9.6-21.i386.rpm
                                            prior to openssl-devel-0.9.6-21.i386.rpm
                                            prior to openssl-devel-static-0.9.6-21.i386.rpm

            OpenLinux 3.1.1 Workstation prior to openssl-0.9.6-21.i386.rpm
                                            prior to openssl-devel-0.9.6-21.i386.rpm
                                            prior to openssl-devel-static-0.9.6-21.i386.rpm

            OpenLinux 3.1 Server prior to openssl-0.9.6-21.i386.rpm
                                            prior to openssl-devel-0.9.6-21.i386.rpm
                                            prior to openssl-devel-static-0.9.6-21.i386.rpm

            OpenLinux 3.1 Workstation prior to openssl-0.9.6-21.i386.rpm
                                            prior to openssl-devel-0.9.6-21.i386.rpm
                                            prior to openssl-devel-static-0.9.6-21.i386.rpm

    3. Solution

            The proper solution is to install the latest packages. Many
            customers find it easier to use the Caldera System Updater, called
            cupdate (or kcupdate under the KDE environment), to update these
            packages rather than downloading and installing them by hand.
