| 2017-08-28 - OpenSSL Vulnerabilities | ||||
| ==================================== | ||||
|  | ||||
| *Aug 28, 2017*, OpenSSL announced the following security advisories: https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv/20170828.txt  | ||||
|  | ||||
|  | ||||
| Advisory CVEs | ||||
| ------------- | ||||
|  | ||||
| * CVE-2017-3735 - **Malformed X.509 IPAddressFamily could cause OOB read** (Severity: Low) | ||||
|  | ||||
| If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily extension, | ||||
| OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most likely result | ||||
| would be an erroneous display of the certificate in text format. | ||||
|  | ||||
| As this is a low severity fix, no release is being made. The fix can be | ||||
| found in the source repository (1.0.2, 1.1.0, and master branches); see | ||||
| https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/4276. This bug has been present | ||||
| since 2006. | ||||
|  | ||||
|  | ||||
| Please see the security bulletin above for patch, upgrade, or suggested work around information. | ||||
|  | ||||
| Action | ||||
| ------ | ||||
|  | ||||
| xCAT uses OpenSSL for client-server communication but **does not** ship it.   | ||||
|  | ||||
| It is highly recommended to keep your OpenSSL levels up-to-date with the indicated versions in the security bulletins to prevent any potential security threats. Obtain the updated software packages from your Operating system distribution channels.  | ||||
