1. Impact

   Security vulnerabilities in OpenSSL (openssl(5)) affect Sun Grid
   Engine (SGE) 5.3 and N1 Grid Engine 6.0, and may allow a local or
   remote unprivileged user to create a Denial of Service (DoS) condition
   if the installation is configured in CSP mode.

     * Sun N1 Grid Engine 6.0 (64-bit Solaris) without patch 124520-01
     * Sun N1 Grid Engine 6.0 (32-bit Solaris) NON-Solaris Package format
       without patch 124523-01
     * Sun N1 Grid Engine 6.0 (64-bit Solaris) NON-Solaris Package format
       without patch without patch 124524-01

   x86 Platform

     * Sun Grid Engine 5.3 NON-Solaris Package format
     * Sun N1 Grid Engine 6.0 without patch 124521-01
     * Sun N1 Grid Engine 6.0 NON-Solaris Package format without patch
       124525-01
     * Sun N1 Grid Engine 6.0 (x64) without patch 124522-01
     * Sun N1 Grid Engine 6.0 (x64) NON-Solaris Package format without
       patch 124526-01

   Linux Platform
     * Sun Grid Engine 5.3
     * Sun Grid Engine 5.3 (x64)
     * Sun N1 Grid Engine 6.0 without patch 124527-01
     * Sun N1 Grid Engine 6.0 (x64) without patch 124528-01

   Windows
     * Sun N1 Grid Engine 6.0 without patch 124534-01

   HP-UX
     * Sun N1 Grid Engine 6.0 without patch 124532-01

   AIX
     * Sun N1 Grid Engine 6.0 (for AIX 4.3) without patch 124529-01

   Note: The described issues can only occur on the Sun Grid systems
   listed above when configured in Certificate Security Protocol (CSP)
   mode.

   To determine if a system is configured in CSP mode, the following
   command can be used:
    $ grep security_mode $SGE_ROOT/default/common/bootstrap

   If a system is configured in CSP mode, the output of the above command
   will indicate "security_mode csp".

3. Symptoms

   There are no predictable symptoms that would indicate the described
   issues have been exploited. 

4. Relief/Workaround

   There is no workaround for these issues. Please see the Resolution
   section below.
