3. Description:

 

stunnel is a socket wrapper which can provide SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)

support to ordinary applications. For example, it can be used in

conjunction with imapd to create an SSL-secure IMAP server.

 

An integer conversion issue was found in stunnel when using Microsoft NT

LAN Manager (NTLM) authentication with the HTTP CONNECT tunneling method.

With this configuration, and using stunnel in SSL client mode on a 64-bit

system, an attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the

privileges of the stunnel process via a man-in-the-middle attack or by

tricking a user into using a malicious proxy. (CVE-2013-1762)

 

All stunnel users should upgrade to this updated package, which contains a

backported patch to correct this issue.

 

4. Solution:

 

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata

relevant to your system have been applied.
