INITIAL RELEASE: 8 April 2004
LAST UPDATED: 8 April 2004
POTENTIAL SECURITY IMPACT: Remote denial of service
SOURCE: HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY
HP Software Security Response Team
REFERENCES: CAN-2004-0079, CAN-2004-0112, CAN-2004-0081,
CERT TA04-078A
VULNERABILITY SUMMARY:
A potential security vulnerability has been identified with
the HP-UX AAA server where an unauthenticated remote attacker
could cause a denial of service.
SUPPORTED SOFTWARE VERSIONS*: ONLY impacted versions are listed.
HP-UX B.11.00, and B.11.11 running HP-UX AAA Server A.06.01.02.04
or earlier.
HP-UX B.11.23 running HP-UX AAA Server A.06.01.02.06.
BACKGROUND:
The HP-UX AAA Server uses components of the OpenSSL functions
internally and is therefore vulnerable to the following items.
CAN-2004-0079: Testing performed by the OpenSSL group using
the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool uncovered a null-pointer
assignment in the do_change_cipher_spec() function. A remote
attacker could perform a carefully crafted SSL/TLS handshake
against a server that used the OpenSSL library in such a way
as to cause OpenSSL to crash. Depending on the application this
could lead to a denial of service. All versions of OpenSSL from
0.9.6c to 0.9.6k inclusive and from 0.9.7a to 0.9.7c inclusive
are affected by this issue.
CAN-2004-0112: Stephen Henson discovered a flaw in SSL/TLS
handshaking code when using Kerberos ciphersuites. A remote
attacker could perform a carefully crafted SSL/TLS handshake
against a server configured to use Kerberos ciphersuites in
such a way as to cause OpenSSL to crash. Most applications have
no ability to use Kerberos ciphersuites and will therefore be
unaffected. Versions 0.9.7a, 0.9.7b, and 0.9.7c of OpenSSL are
affected by this issue.
CAN-2004-0081: Testing performed by the OpenSSL group using
the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool uncovered a bug in older versions
of OpenSSL 0.9.6 that can lead to a Denial of Service attack
(infinite loop). This issue was traced this to a fix that was
added to OpenSSL 0.9.6d some time ago.
AFFECTED VERSIONS
Note: To determine if a system has an affected version, search
the output of "swlist -a revision -l fileset"
for an affected fileset. Then determine if the recommended patch
or update is installed.
HP-UX B.11.23
HP-UX B.11.11
HP-UX B.11.00
=============
AAAServer
action: install revision A.06.01.02.07 or subsequent.
END AFFECTED VERSIONS

security patches by platform/OS release, and by Bulletin topic.
The Security Patch Check tool completely automates the process
of reviewing the Security Patch Matrix for HP-UX 11.XX Versions.
NOTE: Installing patches listed in the Security Patch Matrix will
completely implement the RESOLUTION in the Security Bulletin
_only_ if there are no MANUAL ACTIONS included.
The Security Patch Check tool can also verify that a Security
Bulletin RESOLUTION has been implemented on HP-UX 11.XX Versions
provided that no MANUAL ACTIONS were included. The Security Patch
Check tool cannot verify patches implemented via product upgrade.
