Related Vulnerabilities: CVE-2014-0195   CVE-2014-0221   CVE-2014-0224   CVE-2014-3470   CVE-2014-3153  

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in OpenSSL: CVE-2014-0195 Jueri Aedla discovered that a buffer overflow in processing DTLS fragments could lead to the execution of arbitrary code or denial of service. CVE-2014-0221 Imre Rad discovered the processing of DTLS hello packets is susceptible to denial of service. CVE-2014-0224 KIKUCHI Masashi discovered that carefully crafted handshakes can force the use of weak keys, resulting in potential man-in-the-middle attacks. CVE-2014-3470 Felix Groebert and Ivan Fratric discovered that the implementation of anonymous ECDH ciphersuites is suspectible to denial of service. Additional information can be found at http://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20140605.txt For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 1.0.1e-2+deb7u10. All applications linked to openssl need to be restarted. You can use the tool checkrestart from the package debian-goodies to detect affected programs or reboot your system. There's also a forthcoming security update for the Linux kernel later the day (CVE-2014-3153), so you need to reboot anyway. Perfect timing, isn't it? For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your openssl packages.
