===============================================================================
                           DETAILED INFORMATION

I. DESCRIPTION (From cve.mitre.org)
   
    CVE-2013-0169
    The TLS protocol 1.1 and 1.2 and the DTLS protocol 1.0 and 1.2, as
    used in OpenSSL, OpenJDK, PolarSSL, and other products, do not
    properly consider timing side-channel attacks on a MAC check 
    requirement during the processing of malformed CBC padding, which 
    allows remote attackers to conduct distinguishing attacks and 
    plaintext-recovery attacks via statistical analysis of timing data
    for crafted packets, aka the "Lucky Thirteen" issue. 

    CVE-2013-0166
    OpenSSL before 0.9.8y, 1.0.0 before 1.0.0k, and 1.0.1 before 1.0.1d 
    does not properly perform signature verification for OCSP responses,
    which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL 
    pointer dereference and application crash) via an invalid key. 

    Please see the following for more information:

    http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2013-0169
    http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2013-0166

II. CVSS

    CVE-2013-0169
    CVSS Base Score: 2.6
    CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/81902 for the
    current score
    CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
    CVSS String: (AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N)

    CVE-2013-0166
    CVSS Base Score: 5.0
    CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/81904 for the
    current score
    CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
    CVSS String: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)

III. PLATFORM VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT

    To determine if your system is vulnerable, execute the following
    command:

    lslpp -L openssl.base

    On VIO Server:

    oem_setup_env
    lslpp -L openssl.base

    The following fileset levels are vulnerable:

    AIX 7.1, 6.1, 5.3: all versions less than or equal 0.9.8.2400
    AIX 7.1, 6.1, 5.3: FIPS capable versions less than or equal 12.9.8.2400
    VIOS 2.X: all versions less than or equal 0.9.8.2400

    IMPORTANT: If AIX OpenSSH is in use, it must be updated to version
    OpenSSH 6.0 or later, depending on the OpenSSL version according to
    following compatibility matrix:

    AIX              OpenSSL                    OpenSSH
    ------------------------------------------------------------------
    5.3,6.1,7.1      OpenSSL 0.9.8.25xx         OpenSSH 6.0.0.61xx
                     (Available)

    5.3,6.1,7.1      OpenSSL-fips 12.9.8.25xx   OpenSSH 6.0.0.61xx 
                     (Available 4/15/13)

    VIOS             OpenSSL                    OpenSSH
    ------------------------------------------------------------------
    2.X              OpenSSL 0.9.8.25xx         OpenSSH 6.0.0.61xx
                     (Available)

    AIX OpenSSH can be downloaded from:

    OpenSSH 6.0:
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/openssh-aix
    OpenSSH 6.0.0.61xx
    https://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/iwm/web/preLogin.do?source=aixbp

IV. FIXES

    A fix is available, and it can be downloaded from:

    https://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/iwm/web/preLogin.do?source=aixbp

    To extract the fixes from the tar file:

    zcat openssl-0.9.8.2500.tar.Z | tar xvf -
    or
    zcat openssl-fips-12.9.8.2500.tar.Z | tar xvf -

    IMPORTANT: If possible, it is recommended that a mksysb backup
    of the system be created.  Verify it is both bootable and
    readable before proceeding.

    To preview the fix installation:

    installp -apYd . openssl

    To install the fix package:

    installp -aXYd . openssl

V. WORKAROUNDS

    There are no workarounds.
