Synopsis

========

 

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in OpenSSL, the worst of which

could result in Denial of Service or Man-in-the-Middle attacks.

 

Background

==========

 

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.

 

Affected packages

=================

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected

-------------------------------------------------------------------

1 dev-libs/openssl < 1.0.1j *>= 0.9.8z_p2

>= 1.0.1j

 

Description

===========

 

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in OpenSSL. Please review

the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.

 

Impact

======

 

A remote attacker may be able to cause a Denial of Service condition,

perform Man-in-the-Middle attacks, obtain sensitive information, or

bypass security restrictions.

 

Workaround

==========

 

There is no known workaround at this time.

 

Resolution

==========

 

All OpenSSL 1.0.1 users should upgrade to the latest version:

 

# emerge --sync

# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/openssl-1.0.1j"

 

All OpenSSL 0.9.8 users should upgrade to the latest version:

 

# emerge --sync

# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/openssl-0.9.8z_p2"

 

Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools

such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying these packages.
