Abstract
========

There are multiple issues with OpenSSL supplied with the NetBSD 3.x releases.
An audit of previously released security issues known to impact OpenSSL
highlighted, that while all issues had been fixed in the CVS branches, security
advisories detailing these issues has not been released.  This advisory 
details the known OpenSSL issues in the NetBSD 3.x releases.

These vulnerabilities have been assigned CVE-2006-2937, CVE-2006-2940, 
CVE-2006-3738, CVE-2006-4343 and CVE-2007-5135.


Technical Details
=================

 * CVE-2006-2937 and CVE-2006-2940: ASN.1 Denial of Service Attacks
   
   A malformed ASN.1 structure could allow an attacker to cause a
   denial of service condition by triggering a mishandled error.

   Certain values in X.509 certificates could take additional time to
   process when using RSA signature verification.

 * CVE-2006-3738: SSL_get_shared_ciphers() buffer overflow

   An attacker could use the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function in order
   to trigger a buffer overflow.

 * CVE-2006-4343: SSLv2 Client Crash

   A malicious server accepting SSLv2 connections could cause the connecting
   client to crash.

 * CVE-2007-5135: SSL_get_shared_ciphers() off-by-one error

   An additional issue was found in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() after the fix
   for CVE-2006-3738 was applied.  This may allow remote attackers to 
   trigger a one-byte buffer overflow.


Solutions and Workarounds
=========================

As this advisory covers multiple issues the following table can be used 
to identify which NetBSD releases are impacted by the individual issues:

CVE Number      Branches Impacted       Fix date        Releases Impacted
CVE-2006-2937   3, 3-0                  06/10/2006      3.0, 3.0.1
CVE-2006-2940   3, 3-0                  06/10/2006      3.0, 3.0.1
CVE-2006-3738   3, 3-0                  06/10/2006      3.0, 3.0.1
CVE-2006-4343   3, 3-0                  06/10/2006      3.0, 3.0.1
CVE-2007-5135   3, 3-0, 3-1             19/12/2007      3.*, 3.0.*, 3.1.*

The following instructions describe how to upgrade your OpenSSL
binaries by updating your source tree and rebuilding and
installing a new version of OpenSSL.

* NetBSD 3.*:

        Systems running NetBSD 3.* sources dated from before
        2007-12-19 should be upgraded from NetBSD 3.* sources dated
        2007-12-20 or later.

        The following files/directories need to be updated from the
        netbsd-3, netbsd-3-0 or netbsd-3-1 branches:
                crypto/dist/openssl/crypto/asn1/tasn_dec.c
                crypto/dist/openssl/crypto/dh/dh.h
                crypto/dist/openssl/crypto/dh/dh_err.c
                crypto/dist/openssl/crypto/dh/dh_key.c
                crypto/dist/openssl/crypto/dsa/dsa.h
                crypto/dist/openssl/crypto/dsa/dsa_err.c
                crypto/dist/openssl/crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c
                crypto/dist/openssl/crypto/rsa/rsa.h
                crypto/dist/openssl/crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c
                crypto/dist/openssl/crypto/rsa/rsa_err.c
                crypto/dist/openssl/ssl/s2_clnt.c
                crypto/dist/openssl/ssl/s3_srvr.c
                crypto/dist/openssl/ssl/ssl_lib.c

        To update from CVS, re-build, and re-install OpenSSL:

                # cd src
                # cvs update -r <branch_name> \
                        crypto/dist/openssl/crypto/asn1/tasn_dec.c \
                        crypto/dist/openssl/crypto/dh/dh.h \
                        crypto/dist/openssl/crypto/dh/dh_err.c \
                        crypto/dist/openssl/crypto/dh/dh_key.c \
                        crypto/dist/openssl/crypto/dsa/dsa.h \
                        crypto/dist/openssl/crypto/dsa/dsa_err.c \
                        crypto/dist/openssl/crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c \
                        crypto/dist/openssl/crypto/rsa/rsa.h \
                        crypto/dist/openssl/crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c \
                        crypto/dist/openssl/crypto/rsa/rsa_err.c \
                        crypto/dist/openssl/ssl/s2_clnt.c \
                        crypto/dist/openssl/ssl/s3_srvr.c \
                        crypto/dist/openssl/ssl/ssl_lib.c
                # cd lib/libcrypt
                # make USETOOLS=no cleandir dependall
                # cd ../../lib/libcrypto
                # make USETOOLS=no cleandir dependall
                # make USETOOLS=no install
                # cd ../../lib/libssl
                # make USETOOLS=no cleandir dependall
                # make USETOOLS=no install
