Abstract
========

OpenSSL contains a vulnerability in the validation of PKCS #1 v1.5
signatures.  If a certificate signed by an RSA key with a public
exponent of 3 is used it may be possible for an attacker to present an
alternate certificate with forged PKCS #1 v1.5 signature which OpenSSL
would also report as valid.

This vulnerability has been assigned CVE reference CVE-2006-4339.


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

When verifying a PKCS#1 v1.5 signature OpenSSL was not checking for
excess data at the end of the signed hash.  By carefully choosing
additional data after the hash, an attacker could construct an
alternate certificate with arbitrary contents that would be validated
as correctly signed.

Details of the attack are discussed in the following post by Hal
Finney to the cryptography mailing list:

  http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=cryptography&m=115694833312008

In addition to OpenSSL, a number of other cryptographic library
implementations suffered from similar vulnerabilities. These include
those in the Opera and Mozilla family of web browsers. Users of these
and other similar applications should also check for updates.

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

It is recommended that NetBSD users of vulnerable versions update
their binaries.

The following instructions describe how to upgrade your OpenSSL
binaries by updating your source tree and rebuilding and
installing a new version of OpenSSL.

* NetBSD-current:

	Systems running NetBSD-current dated from before 2006-09-06
	should be upgraded to NetBSD-current dated 2006-09-07 or later.

	The following files need to be updated from CVS HEAD:
		crypto/dist/openssl/crypto/rsa/rsa_sign.c

	To update from CVS, re-build, and re-install OpenSSL:

		# cd src
		# cvs update crypto/dist/openssl/crypto/rsa/rsa_sign.c
		# cd lib/libcrypt
		# make USETOOLS=no cleandir dependall
		# cd ../../lib/libcrypto
		# make USETOOLS=no cleandir dependall
		# make USETOOLS=no install


* NetBSD 3.*:

	Systems running NetBSD 3.* sources dated from before
	2006-09-08 should be upgraded from NetBSD 3.* sources dated
	2006-09-09 or later.

	The following files need to be updated from the
	netbsd-3 or netbsd-3-0 CVS branch:
		crypto/dist/openssl/crypto/rsa/rsa_sign.c

	To update from CVS, re-build, and re-install OpenSSL:

		# cd src
		# cvs update -r <branch_name> \
			crypto/dist/openssl/crypto/rsa/rsa_sign.c
		# cd lib/libcrypt
		# make USETOOLS=no cleandir dependall
		# cd ../../lib/libcrypto
		# make USETOOLS=no cleandir dependall
		# make USETOOLS=no install


* NetBSD 2.*:

	Systems running NetBSD 2.* sources dated from before
	2006-09-08 should be upgraded from NetBSD 2.* sources dated
	2006-09-09 or later.

	The following files need to be updated from the
	netbsd-2, netbsd-2-0 or netbsd-2-1 CVS branch:
		crypto/dist/openssl/crypto/rsa/rsa_sign.c

	To update from CVS, re-build, and re-install OpenSSL:

		# cd src
		# cvs update -r <branch_name> \
			crypto/dist/openssl/crypto/rsa/rsa_sign.c
		# cd lib/libcrypt
		# make USETOOLS=no cleandir dependall
		# cd ../../lib/libcrypto
		# make USETOOLS=no cleandir dependall
		# make USETOOLS=no install
