 -----------------------------------------------------------------
NOTICE: There are no restrictions for distribution of this
        Bulletin provided that it remains complete and intact.

The information in the following Security Bulletin should be
acted upon as soon as possible.  Hewlett-Packard Company will
not be liable for any consequences to any customer resulting
from customer's failure to fully implement instructions in this
Security Bulletin as soon as possible.

 -----------------------------------------------------------------
PROBLEM: 1. Certain ASN.1 encodings that are rejected as invalid
            by the parser can trigger a bug in the deallocation
            of the corresponding data structure, corrupting the
            stack.  This can be used as a denial of service
            attack.  It is currently unknown whether this can be
            exploited to run malicious code. This issue does not
            affect OpenSSL 0.9.6.

            More details are available at:
   http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-0545

         2. Unusual ASN.1 tag values can cause an out of bounds
            read under certain circumstances, resulting in a
            denial of service vulnerability.
            More details are available at:
   http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-0543
   http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-0544

         3. A malformed public key in a certificate will crash
            the verify code if it is set to ignore public key
            decoding errors.  Exploitation of an affected
            application would result in a denial of service
            vulnerability.

         4. Due to an error in the SSL/TLS protocol handling,
            a server will parse a client certificate when one is
            not specifically requested.

IMPACT:   Potential Denial of Service

PLATFORM: HP9000 Servers running HP-UX release B.11.00, B.11.11,
          B.11.20, B.11.22, and B.11.23 with versions of the

 -----------------------------------------------------------------
A. Background
   An SSL/TLS testing suite developed by the NISCC (National
   Infrastructure Security Co-Ordination Centre in the UK) has
   identified ASN.1 parsing vulnerabilities in OpenSSL.

   The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
   <http://cve.mitre.org/> has identified potential
   vulnerabilities in the Apache HTTP Server (CAN-2003-0543,
   CAN-2003-0544).

     AFFECTED VERSIONS
     ==================

     The affected filesets are: (product.fileset)

     For IPv4:
     HP-UX B.11.00
     HP-UX B.11.11
     HP-UX B.11.22
     HPApache.APACHE2
     hpuxwsAPACHE.APACHE2
     fix: revision A.1.0.08.01 or subsequent

     For IPv6:
     HP-UX B.11.11
     HP-UX B.11.23

     hpuxwsAPACHE.APACHE2
     fix: revision B.1.0.08.01 or subsequent

     END AFFECTED VERSIONS

B. Recommended solution
   For customers using HPApache/B9416BA and hpuxwsAPACHE/
   hpuxwsApache, HP has incorporated OpenSSL 0.9.7b + patches
   in the following product:

   - hp-ux apache-based web server version 1.0.08.01 or later

        System:    hprc.external.hp.com  (192.170.19.51)
        Login:     apache1
        Password:  apache1

        FTP Access: ftp://apache1:apache1@hprc.external.hp.com/
                or: ftp://apache1:apache1@192.170.19.51/
                or: ftp hprc.external.hp.com

        Note: There is an ftp defect in IE5 that may result in
               a browser hang.  To work around this:
        - Select Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced
        - Un-check the option:
                  [ ] Enable folder view for FTP sites

    ==================================================
    To fix the problem:

    1. Determine the affected version.
    2. Download and verify the cksum or md5 sum.
    3. Install the appropriate Apache depot.

     cksum:
          2820606652 77844480   A.1.0.08.01.1100.depot
          84183799 91555840     A.1.0.08.01.1122.depot
          774435972 77875200    B.1.0.08.01.ipv6.depot
          871663669 116940800   B.1.0.08.01.1123.depot

       MD5:
          A.1.0.08.01.1100.depot
                 4D60A779EEFFD5953EE52371E1F17AD9
          A.1.0.08.01.1122.depot
                 483DBFF44D9B79C04CD1ABF71A692E05
          B.1.0.08.01.1123.depot
                 B8B2D2609D2A43ABAD63BE0A3DC7C61E
          B.1.0.08.01.ipv6.depot
                 866E9B4D3102EA6FF34CCCA8171B43CB

   Check for Apache Installation
   -----------------------------
   To determine if the Apache web server from HP is installed on
   your system, use Software Distributor's swlist command.  All
   three versions products may co-exist on a single system.

   For example, the results of the command
     swlist -l product | grep -i apache     might show:

     HPApache      2.0.39.01.02  HP Apache-based Web Server
     hpuxwsAPACHE  A.1.0.05.01   HP-UX Apache-based Web Server

   Stop Apache
   -----------------------------
   Before updating, make sure to stop any previous Apache binary.
   Otherwise, the previous binary will continue running,
   preventing the new one from starting, although the
   installation would be successful.

   After determining which Apache is installed, stop Apache with
   the following commands:

     for HPApache:        /opt/hpapache2/bin/apachectl stop
     for hpuxwsAPACHE:    /opt/hpws/apache/bin/apachectl stop

   Download and Install Apache
   -----------------------------
   - Download Apache from temporary ftp site using the previously
     mentioned links.
   - Verify successful download by comparing the cksum/md5 with
     the value specified on the installation web page.
   - Use SD to swinstall the depot.
   - For customers with HPApache/B9416BA installed, migrate to
     hpuxwsAPACHE/hpuxwsApache and remove the affected products
     from the system.

   Installation of this new version of HP Apache over an existing
   HP Apache installation is supported, while installation over a
   non-HP Apache is NOT supported.

   Removing Apache Installation
   ----------------------------
   If you rather remove Apache from your system than install a
   newer version to resolve the security problem, use both
   Software Distributor's "swremove" command and also "rm -rf"
   the home location as specified in the rc.config.d file "HOME"
   variables.

   To find the files containing HOME variables in the
   /etc/rc.config.d directory:

     %ls /etc/rc.config.d | grep apache
        hpapache2conf
        hpws_apacheconf
