Insight
Multiple vulnerabilities was discovered and corrected in openssl: Use-after-free vulnerability in the dtls1_retrieve_buffered_fragment function in ssl/d1_both.c in OpenSSL 1.0.0 Beta 2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (openssl s_client crash) and possibly have unspecified other impact via a DTLS packet, as demonstrated by a packet from a server that uses a crafted server certificate (CVE-2009-1379). The dtls1_retrieve_buffered_fragment function in ssl/d1_both.c in OpenSSL before 1.0.0 Beta 2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) via an out-of-sequence DTLS handshake message, related to a fragment bug. (CVE-2009-1387) The NSS library library before 3.12.3, as used in Firefox GnuTLS before 2.6.4 and 2.7.4 OpenSSL 0.9.8 through 0.9.8k and other products support MD2 with X.509 certificates, which might allow remote attackers to spooof certificates by using MD2 design flaws to generate a hash collision in less than brute-force time. NOTE: the scope of this issue is currently limited because the amount of computation required is still large (CVE-2009-2409). This update provides a solution to these vulnerabilities. Affected: 2009.1
