HTTP Server
-----------------------------------------------------------------
NOTICE: There are no restrictions for distribution of this
Bulletin provided that it remains complete and intact.
The information in the following Security Bulletin should be
acted upon as soon as possible. Hewlett-Packard Company will
not be liable for any consequences to any customer resulting
from customer's failure to fully implement instructions in this
Security Bulletin as soon as possible.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
PROBLEM: 1. Certain ASN.1 encodings that are rejected as invalid
by the parser can trigger a bug in the deallocation
of the corresponding data structure, corrupting the
stack. This can be used as a denial of service
attack. It is currently unknown whether this can be
exploited to run malicious code. This issue does not
affect OpenSSL 0.9.6.
More details are available at:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-0545
2. Unusual ASN.1 tag values can cause an out of bounds
read under certain circumstances, resulting in a
denial of service vulnerability.
More details are available at:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-0543
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-0544
3. A malformed public key in a certificate will crash
the verify code if it is set to ignore public key
decoding errors. Exploitation of an affected
application would result in a denial of service
vulnerability.
4. Due to an error in the SSL/TLS protocol handling,
a server will parse a client certificate when one is
not specifically requested.
**REVISED 02**
IMPACT: Potential Denial of Service, remote execution of
---> arbitrary code and disclosure of sensitive information.

A. Background
An SSL/TLS testing suite developed by the NISCC (National
Infrastructure Security Co-Ordination Centre in the UK) has
identified ASN.1 parsing vulnerabilities in OpenSSL.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
<http://cve.mitre.org/> has identified potential
vulnerabilities in the Apache HTTP Server (CAN-2003-0543,
CAN-2003-0544).

B. Recommended solution
For customers using HPApache/B9416BA and hpuxwsAPACHE/
hpuxwsApache, HP has incorporated OpenSSL 0.9.7b + patches
in the following product:
- hp-ux apache-based web server version 1.0.08.01 or later
<http://www.software.hp.com/portal/swdepot/
displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=HPUXWSATW100901
==================================================
To fix the problem:
1. Determine the affected version.
Check for Apache Installation
-----------------------------
To determine if the Apache web server from HP is installed on
your system, use Software Distributor's swlist command. All
three versions products may co-exist on a single system.
For example, the results of the command
swlist -l product | grep -i apache might show:
HPApache 2.0.39.01.02 HP Apache-based Web Server
hpuxwsAPACHE A.1.0.05.01 HP-UX Apache-based Web Server
Stop Apache
-----------------------------
Before updating, make sure to stop any previous Apache binary.
Otherwise, the previous binary will continue running,
preventing the new one from starting, although the
installation would be successful.
After determining which Apache is installed, stop Apache with
the following commands:
for HPApache: /opt/hpapache2/bin/apachectl stop
for hpuxwsAPACHE: /opt/hpws/apache/bin/apachectl stop
Download and Install Apache
-----------------------------
- Download Apache from <http://software.hp.com> (see above).
- Use SD to swinstall the depot.
- For customers with HPApache/B9416BA installed, migrate to
hpuxwsAPACHE/hpuxwsApache and remove the affected products
from the system.
Installation of this new version of HP Apache over an existing
HP Apache installation is supported, while installation over a
non-HP Apache is NOT supported.
Removing Apache Installation
----------------------------
If you rather remove Apache from your system than install a
newer version to resolve the security problem, use both
Software Distributor's "swremove" command and also "rm -rf"
the home location as specified in the rc.config.d file "HOME"
variables.
To find the files containing HOME variables in the
/etc/rc.config.d directory:
%ls /etc/rc.config.d | grep apache
hpapache2conf
hpws_apacheconf
---> For customers with HP-UX release B.11.04 (VVOS), stop Apache
---> (as above), and install the patches that upgrade the OpenSSL
---> versions to 0.9.7c. These fixes are available in the
---> following patches:
---> Virtualvault 4.5:
---> PHSS_29892 B.11.04 Virtualvault 4.5 IWS update
---> PHSS_29690 B.11.04 Virtualvault 4.5 OWS update
---> Virtualvault 4.6:
---> PHSS_29893 B.11.04 Virtualvault 4.6 IWS update
---> PHSS_29691 B.11.04 Virtualvault 4.6 OWS update
---> PHSS_29891 B.11.04 Virtualvault 4.6 TGP update
---> Virtualvault 4.7:
---> PHSS_30055 B.11.04 Virtualvault 4.7 IWS update
---> PHSS_30056 B.11.04 Virtualvault 4.7 OWS update
---> PHSS_30057 B.11.04 Virtualvault 4.7 TGP update
---> Webproxy 2.0:
---> PHSS_29894 B.11.04 Webproxy server 2.0 update
---> Webproxy 2.1
---> PHSS_30058 B.11.04 Webproxy server 2.1 update

To -gain access- to the Security Patch Matrix, select
the link for "The Security Bulletins Archive". (near the
bottom of the page) Once in the archive the third link is
to the current Security Patch Matrix. Updated daily, this
matrix categorizes security patches by platform/OS release,
and by bulletin topic. Security Patch Check completely
automates the process of reviewing the patch matrix for
11.XX systems. Please note that installing the patches
listed in the Security Patch Matrix will completely
implement a security bulletin _only_ if the MANUAL ACTIONS
field specifies "No."
The Security Patch Check tool can verify that a security
bulletin has been implemented on HP-UX 11.XX systems providing
that the fix is completely implemented in a patch with no
manual actions required. The Security Patch Check tool cannot
verify fixes implemented via a product upgrade.
For information on the Security Patch Check tool, see:
http://www.software.hp.com/cgi-bin/swdepot_parser.cgi/cgi/
