An error in the implementation of this \\ logic can mean that an attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted \\ certificates to be bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a \\ valid leaf certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate. \\ This issue will impact any application that verifies certificates including \\ SSL/TLS/DTLS clients and SSL/TLS/DTLS servers using client authentication. \\ This issue affects OpenSSL versions 1.0.2c, 1.0.2b, 1.0.1n and 1.0.1o. \\ This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 24th June 2015 by Adam Langley/David \\ Benjamin (Google/BoringSSL). The fix was developed by the BoringSSL project. \\ For more information, see: \\ https://openssl.org/news/secadv_20150709.txt \\ https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2015-1793 \\ (* Security fix *) * [[slackware.14.0>patches/packages/openssl-solibs-1.0.1p-i486-1_slack14.0.txz]] {{tag>slackware changelog slackware-14.0 2015-07}} news/2015/07/09/slackware-14.0-changelog.txt Last modified: 8 months agoby Giuseppe Di Terlizzi Log In
