Red Hat Security Advisory

 

Synopsis: Moderate: xmlsec1 security update

Advisory ID: RHSA-2009:1428-01

Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2009-1428.html

Issue date: 2009-09-08

CVE Names: CVE-2009-0217

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

 

1. Summary:

 

Updated xmlsec1 packages that fix one security issue are now available for

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5.

 

This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red

Hat Security Response Team.

 

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

 

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop version 4 - i386, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64

RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64

 

3. Description:

 

The XML Security Library is a C library based on libxml2 and OpenSSL. It

implements the XML Signature Syntax and Processing and XML Encryption

Syntax and Processing standards. HMAC is used for message authentication

using cryptographic hash functions. The HMAC algorithm allows the hash

output to be truncated (as documented in RFC 2104).

 

A missing check for the recommended minimum length of the truncated form of

HMAC-based XML signatures was found in xmlsec1. An attacker could use this

flaw to create a specially-crafted XML file that forges an XML signature,

allowing the attacker to bypass authentication that is based on the XML

Signature specification. (CVE-2009-0217)

 

Users of xmlsec1 should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain

a backported patch to correct this issue. After installing the updated

packages, applications that use the XML Security Library must be restarted

for the update to take effect.

 

4. Solution:

 

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

errata relevant to your system have been applied.

 

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use

the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at

http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259

 

5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

 

511915 - CVE-2009-0217 xmlsec1, mono, xml-security-c, xml-security-1.3.0-1jpp.ep1.*: XMLDsig HMAC-based signatures spoofing and authentication bypass
