Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the OpenSSL cryptographic software package that could allow an attacker to launch a denial of service attack by exhausting system resources or crashing processes on a victim’s computer.

  • CVE-2006-3738 Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry of the Google Security Team discovered a buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers utility function, used by some applications such as exim and mysql. An attacker could send a list of ciphers that would overrun a buffer.

  • CVE-2006-4343 Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry of the Google Security Team discovered a possible DoS in the sslv2 client code.
    Where a client application uses OpenSSL to make a SSLv2 connection to a malicious server that server could cause the client to crash.

  • CVE-2006-2940 Dr S N Henson of the OpenSSL core team and Open Network Security recently developed an ASN1 test suite for NISCC ( www.niscc.gov.uk). When the test suite was run against OpenSSL a DoS was discovered.

Certain types of public key can take disproportionate amounts of time to process. This could be used by an attacker in a denial of service attack.
