Package: openssl
Vulnerability: potential SSL 2.0 rollback
OpenPKG Specific: no
Affected Releases: Affected Packages: Corrected Packages:
OpenPKG CURRENT <= openssl-0.9.8-2005092 >= openssl-0.9.8a-20051011
OpenPKG 2.4 <= openssl-0.9.7g-2.4.1 >= openssl-0.9.7g-2.4.2

Dependent Packages: unknown
Description:
According to a vendor security advisory [0], a potential SSL 2.0
protocol rollback attack vulnerability exists in the cryptography
toolkit OpenSSL [1]. The vulnerability potentially affects
applications that use the SSL/TLS server implementation provided
by OpenSSL. Such applications are affected if they use the option
"SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING". Applications using neither
"SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING" nor "SSL_OP_ALL" are not affected.
Also, applications that disable use of SSL 2.0 are not affected. The
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project assigned the id
CAN-2005-2969 [2] to the problem.
Please check whether you are affected by running "<prefix>/bin/openpkg
rpm -q openssl". If you have the "openssl" package installed and its
version is affected (see above), we recommend that you immediately
upgrade it (see Solution) [3][4].
Solution:
Select the updated source RPM appropriate for your OpenPKG release
[5][6], fetch it from the OpenPKG FTP service [7][8] or a mirror
location, verify its integrity [9], build a corresponding binary RPM
from it [3] and update your OpenPKG installation by applying the
binary RPM [4]. For the most recent release OpenPKG 2.4, perform the
following operations to permanently fix the security problem (for
other releases adjust accordingly).
$ ftp ftp.openpkg.org
ftp> bin
ftp> cd release/2.4/UPD
ftp> get openssl-0.9.7g-2.4.2.src.rpm
ftp> bye
$ <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm -v --checksig openssl-0.9.7g-2.4.2.src.rpm
$ <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm --rebuild openssl-0.9.7g-2.4.2.src.rpm
$ su -
# <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm -Fvh <prefix>/RPM/PKG/openssl-0.9.7g-2.4.2.*.rpm
