The vulnerability of the OpenSSL library, which allows a hacker to trigger a service failure or cause other adverse effects

The vulnerability of the fmtstr function in the OpenSSL library crypto/bio/bprint.c is caused by buffer overflow. Exploiting this vulnerability could allow an attacker to cause a service failure or other effects such as reading beyond the memory boundaries using a long ASN.1 data string...

OpenSSL Denial of Service Vulnerability (CNVD-2016-01479)

OpenSSL is an open source capable of implementing the Secure Sockets Layer SSL v2/v3 and Secure Transport Layer TLS v1 protocols developed by the OpenSSL team as a general-purpose cryptographic library that supports a wide range of cryptographic algorithms including symmetric ciphers, hash...

Amazon Releases S2N TLS Crypto Implementation to Open Source

Amazon today released to open source its own TLS implementation called s2n, which stands for signal to noise. While admittedly not meant to be a replacement for OpenSSL, for example, s2n is a slimmed-down crypto implementation analogous to libssl, the OpenSSL library that supports TLS. Amazon chi...

USN-2339-2: Libgcrypt vulnerability

Daniel Genkin, Adi Shamir, and Eran Tromer discovered that Libgcrypt was susceptible to an adaptive chosen ciphertext attack via physical side channels. A local attacker could use this attack to possibly recover private keys...

Early Review of LibreSSL Finds Problematic PRNG

When the OpenBSD foundation sent LibreSSL out the door last weekend, it was with the full intention of getting some feedback and scrutiny in return, all in the name of making the crypto library stable and secure. What they likely didn’t expect were claims surfacing that LibreSSL shared some of th...

GnuTLS Bug Exposes Shortcomings in TLS Test Suites

Code audits are often ugly tasks and can sometimes find ugly things. Case in point: the GnuTLS goto bug. Chief architect and Red Hat engineer Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos initiated a code audit of the open source crypto library that eventually turned up last week’s critical bug. The bad code has been...
