Topic:		OpenSSL TLS extension parsing race condition.


Version:	NetBSD-current:		source prior to November 18, 2010
		NetBSD 5.0.*:		affected
		NetBSD 5.0:		affected
		NetBSD 5.1:		affected
		NetBSD 4.0.*:		not affected

Severity:	Denial of Service and potential arbitrary code execution

Fixed:		NetBSD-current:		November 17, 2010
		NetBSD-5-0 branch:	November 19, 2010
		NetBSD-5-1 branch:	November 19, 2010

Please note that NetBSD releases prior to 4.0 are no longer supported.
It is recommended that all users upgrade to a supported release.


Abstract
========

A flaw has been found in the OpenSSL TLS server extension code parsing which
on affected servers can be exploited in a buffer overrun attack.
This flaw impacts neither the Apache HTTP server nor any daemon as shipped
with NetBSD.

This vulnerability has been assigned CVE-2010-3864.


Technical Details
=================

Multiple race conditions in ssl/t1_lib.c in OpenSSL, when multi-threading
and internal caching are enabled on a TLS server, might allow remote
attackers to execute arbitrary code via client data that triggers a
heap-based buffer overflow, related to (1) the TLS server name extension
and (2) elliptic curve cryptography. A binary that does not link both
against libssl and a threading library like eg libpthread is unlikely
to be affected.
See http://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20101116.txt for the vulnerability
announcement from OpenSSL.


Solutions and Workarounds
=========================

- - Patch, recompile, and reinstall libssl.

  CVS branch	file							revision
  -------------	----------------					--------
  HEAD		src/crypto/external/bsd/openssl/dist/ssl/t1_lib.c	1.2

  CVS branch	file						revision
  -------------	----------------				--------
  netbsd-5-1	src/crypto/dist/openssl/ssl/t1_lib.c		1.2.12.1

  netbsd-5-0	src/crypto/dist/openssl/ssl/t1_lib.c		1.2.8.1

  netbsd-5	src/crypto/dist/openssl/ssl/t1_lib.c		1.2.4.1


The following instructions briefly summarize how to update and
recompile libssl. In these instructions, replace:

  BRANCH   with the appropriate CVS branch (from the above table)
  FILES    with the file names for that branch (from the above table)

To update from CVS, re-build, and re-install libc and sftp:

* NetBSD-current:

        # cd src
        # cvs update -d -P -A crypto/external/bsd/openssl/dist/ssl
        # cd lib/libcrypt
        # make USETOOLS=no cleandir dependall
        # make USETOOLS=no install
        # cd ../../crypto/external/bsd/openssl/lib/libcrypto
        # make USETOOLS=no cleandir dependall
        # make USETOOLS=no install
        # cd ../libssl
        # make USETOOLS=no cleandir dependall
        # make USETOOLS=no install

* NetBSD 5.*:

        # cd src
        # cvs update -d -P -r BRANCH crypto/dist/openssl/ssl
        # cd lib/libcrypt
        # make USETOOLS=no cleandir dependall
        # make USETOOLS=no install
        # cd ../libcrypto
        # make USETOOLS=no cleandir dependall
        # make USETOOLS=no install
        # cd ../libssl
        # make USETOOLS=no cleandir dependall
        # make USETOOLS=no install

For more information on building (oriented towards rebuilding the
entire system, however) see:
