Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in OpenSSL, a Secure
Sockets Layer toolkit. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
identifies the following issues:
CVE-2015-0286
Stephen Henson discovered that the ASN1_TYPE_cmp() function
can be crashed, resulting in denial of service.
CVE-2015-0287
Emilia Kaesper discovered a memory corruption in ASN.1 parsing.
CVE-2015-0289
Michal Zalewski discovered a NULL pointer dereference in the
PKCS#7 parsing code, resulting in denial of service.
CVE-2015-0292
It was discovered that missing input sanitising in base64 decoding
might result in memory corruption.
CVE-2015-0209
It was discovered that a malformed EC private key might result in
memory corruption.
CVE-2015-0288
It was discovered that missing input sanitising in the
X509_to_X509_REQ() function might result in denial of service.
For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.0.1e-2+deb7u15. In this update the export ciphers are removed
from the default cipher list.
We recommend that you upgrade your openssl packages.
