Description

## Releases * Ubuntu 11.10 * Ubuntu 11.04 * Ubuntu 10.04 * Ubuntu 8.04 ## Packages * openssl \- Secure Socket Layer (SSL) cryptographic library and tools It was discovered that OpenSSL could be made to dereference a NULL pointer when processing S/MIME messages. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. These issues did not affect Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. (CVE-2006-7250, CVE-2012-1165) Tavis Ormandy discovered that OpenSSL did not properly perform bounds checking when processing DER data via BIO or FILE functions. A remote attacker could trigger this flaw in services that used SSL to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code with application privileges. (CVE-2012-2110)
