   Security Vulnerability in the Transport Layer Security (TLS) and

   Renegotiation Affects OpenSSL
     _________________________________________________________________

   Category: Security
   Release Phase: Resolved
   Bug Id: SUNBUG: 6898546
   SUNBUG: 6898539
   Product: Solaris 10 Operating System
   OpenSolaris
   Date of Workaround Release: 19-Nov-2009
   Date of Resolved Release:
   22-Jun-2010
   Security Vulnerability in the Transport Layer Security (TLS) and
   Secure Sockets Layer 3.0 (SSLv3) Protocols Involving Handshake
   Renegotiation Affects OpenSSL

   1. Impact

   A security vulnerability in the Transport Layer Security (TLS) and
   Secure Sockets Layer 3.0 (SSLv3) protocols in the handling of session
   renegotiations affects OpenSSL (see openssl(5)). This issue may allow
   a remote unauthenticated user with the ability to intercept and
   control network traffic to perform man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack to
   inject arbitrary plaintext at the beginning of the application
   protocol stream, thus compromising the integrity of the communication.
   This vulnerability does not allow one to decrypt the intercepted
   network communication.
   The exact nature of the impact of compromised data integrity depends
   on the application making use of the OpenSSL libraries.
   Sun acknowledges with thanks, Marsh Ray and Steve Dispensa of
   PhoneFactor for bringing this issue to our attention.
   This issue is also referenced in the following documents:
   CVE-2009-3555 at
   [1]http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-3555
   US-CERT VU#120541 at [2]http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/120541

   2. Contributing Factors

   This issue can occur in the following releases:
   SPARC Platform
     * Solaris 10 without patches [3]143140-04 and [4]145102-01
     * OpenSolaris based upon builds snv_01 through snv_128

   x86 Platform
     * Solaris 10 without patch [5]141525-10
     * OpenSolaris based upon builds snv_01 through snv_128

   Notes:

   1. Solaris 8 is not impacted by this issue.
   2. Solaris 9 does not ship with OpenSSL libraries which can be used
   for application linking and is thus not impacted by this issue.
   OpenSolaris distributions may include additional bug fixes above and
   beyond the build from which it was derived.  The base build can be
   derived as follows:
$ uname -v
snv_101

   3. Symptoms

   There are no predictable symptoms that would indicate the described
   issue has occurred.

   4. Workaround

   Solaris Kernel SSL proxy module, KSSL (see ksslcfg(1M)) does not
   support client renegotiation or rehandshake. Server applications which
   use the KSSL module are not affected by this issue. KSSL may be used
   to work around the described issue in such applications.

   5. Resolution

   This issue is addressed for applications that do not depend on TLS
   session renegotiations in the following releases:
   SPARC Platform
     * Solaris 10 with patches [6]143140-04 or later and [7]145102-01 or
       later
     * OpenSolaris based upon builds snv_129 or later

   x86 Platform
     * Solaris 10 with patch [8]141525-10 or later
     * OpenSolaris based upon builds snv_129 or later

   SUNPATCH [9]143140-04
   SUNPATCH [10]145102-01
   SUNPATCH [11]141525-10
   Modification History
   03-Dec-2009: Updated Contributing Factors and Resolution sections for
   OpenSolaris
   22-Jun-2010: Updated Contributing Factors and Resolution sections for
   patch release; issue is Resolved
