Debian Security Advisory

DSA-1701-1 openssl, openssl097 -- interpretation conflict

Date Reported:

12 Jan 2009

Affected Packages:

openssl, openssl097

Vulnerable:

Yes

Security database references:

In the Debian bugtracking system: Bug 511196.
In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2008-5077.

More information:

It was discovered that OpenSSL does not properly verify DSA signatures on X.509 certificates due to an API misuse, potentially leading to the acceptance of incorrect X.509 certificates as genuine (CVE-2008-5077).

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 0.9.8c-4etch4 of the openssl package, and version 0.9.7k-3.1etch4 of the openssl097 package.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 0.9.8g-15.

The testing distribution (lenny) will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your OpenSSL packages.

Fixed in:

Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 (etch)
