Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.1.0a [22 Sep 2016]
|
||||
|
||||
*) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
|
||||
|
||||
A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
|
||||
extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
|
||||
large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
|
||||
memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
|
||||
Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
|
||||
configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
|
||||
the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
|
||||
|
||||
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
|
||||
(CVE-2016-6304)
|
||||
[Matt Caswell]
|
||||
|
||||
*) SSL_peek() hang on empty record
|
||||
|
||||
OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
|
||||
sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
|
||||
Denial Of Service attack.
|
||||
|
||||
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
|
||||
(CVE-2016-6305)
|
||||
[Matt Caswell]
|
||||
|
||||
*) Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
|
||||
dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
|
||||
|
||||
A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
|
||||
message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
|
||||
this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
|
||||
peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
|
||||
being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
|
||||
1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
|
||||
the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
|
||||
OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
|
||||
to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
|
||||
memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
|
||||
place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
|
||||
that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed conneciton in a timely
|
||||
manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
|
||||
again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
|
||||
nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
|
||||
|
||||
1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
|
||||
that the connection fails
|
||||
or
|
||||
2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
|
||||
very little free memory
|
||||
or
|
||||
3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
|
||||
multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
|
||||
connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
|
||||
memory to service the multiple requests.
|
||||
|
||||
Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
|
||||
transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
|
||||
subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
|
||||
increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
|
||||
memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.

|
||||
|
||||
*) solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
|
||||
had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
|
||||
assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
|
||||
support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
|
||||
lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
|
||||
security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily available
|
||||
prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...
