Date Reported:

06 Apr 2009

Affected Packages:

openssl

Vulnerable:

Yes

Security database references:

In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2009-0590.

More information:

It was discovered that insufficient length validations in the ASN.1 handling of the OpenSSL crypto library may lead to denial of service when processing a manipulated certificate.

For the old stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 0.9.8c-4etch5 of the openssl package and in version 0.9.7k-3.1etch3 of the openssl097 package.

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 0.9.8g-15+lenny1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 0.9.8g-16.

We recommend that you upgrade your openssl packages.

Fixed in:

Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 (etch)
