+ <title>OpenSSL: Remote execution of arbitrary code</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ OpenSSL contains a vulnerability allowing execution of arbitrary code or a
+ Denial of Service.
+ </synopsis>
+ <product type="ebuild">openssl</product>
+ <announced>2007-10-27</announced>
+ <revised count="03">2007-10-30</revised>
+ <bug>195634</bug>
+ <access>remote</access>
+ <affected>
+ <package name="dev-libs/openssl" auto="yes" arch="*">
+ <unaffected range="ge">0.9.8f</unaffected>
+ <vulnerable range="lt">0.9.8f</vulnerable>
+ </package>
+ </affected>
+ <background>
+ <p>
+ OpenSSL is an Open Source toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer
+ (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) as well as a general
+ purpose cryptography library.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Andy Polyakov reported a vulnerability in the OpenSSL toolkit, that is
+ caused due to an unspecified off-by-one error within the DTLS
+ implementation.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code or
+ cause a Denial of Service. Only clients and servers explicitly using
+ DTLS are affected, systems using SSL and TLS are not.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All OpenSSL users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-libs/openssl-0.9.8f"</code>
