- Ubuntu 15.04
- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in OpenSSL.

Software Description:
- openssl: Secure Socket Layer (SSL) cryptographic library and tools

Details:

Guy Leaver discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled a ServerKeyExchang=
e
for an anonymous DH ciphersuite with the value of p set to 0. A remote
attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenSSL to crash, resulti=
ng
in a denial of service. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 15.10.
(CVE-2015-1794)

Hanno B=C3=B6ck discovered that the OpenSSL Montgomery squaring procedure=

algorithm may produce incorrect results when being used on x86_64. A remo=
te
attacker could possibly use this issue to break encryption. This issue on=
ly
applied to Ubuntu 15.10. (CVE-2015-3193)

Lo=C3=AFc Jonas Etienne discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled ASN.1=

signatures with a missing PSS parameter. A remote attacker could possibly=

use this issue to cause OpenSSL to crash, resulting in a denial of servic=
e.
(CVE-2015-3194)

Adam Langley discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled malformed
X509_ATTRIBUTE structures. A remote attacker could possibly use this issu=
e
to cause OpenSSL to consume resources, resulting in a denial of service.
(CVE-2015-3195)

It was discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled PSK identity hints. A
remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenSSL to crash,
resulting in a denial of service. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 12.04=

LTS, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 15.04. (CVE-2015-3196)
