Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2009:271

http://www.mandriva.com/security/

_______________________________________________________________________

 

Package : libnasl

Date : October 12, 2009

Affected: Corporate 4.0

_______________________________________________________________________

 

Problem Description:

 

A vulnerability has been found and corrected in libnasl:

 

nasl/nasl_crypto2.c in the Nessus Attack Scripting Language library

(aka libnasl) 2.2.11 does not properly check the return value from

the OpenSSL DSA_do_verify function, which allows remote attackers to

bypass validation of the certificate chain via a malformed SSL/TLS

signature, a similar vulnerability to CVE-2008-5077 (CVE-2009-0125).

 

This update fixes this vulnerability.
