Vulnerability Description
OpenSSL released a security advisory against version 1.1.1 with 1.1.1k
containing the fix. Some McAfee products are using 1.0.2 (with an extended
Support contract) and are not vulnerable.
1. CVE-2021-3150
The X509_V_FLAG_X509_STRICT flag enables additional security checks of the
certificates present in a certificate chain. It is not set by default.
Starting from OpenSSL version 1.1.1h a check to disallow certificates in
the chain that have explicitly encoded elliptic curve parameters was added
as an additional strict check. An error in the implementation of this check
meant that the result of a previous check to confirm that certificates in
the chain are valid CA certificates was overwritten. This effectively
bypasses the check that non-CA certificates must not be able to issue other
certificates. If a "purpose" has been configured then there is a subsequent
opportunity for checks that the certificate is a valid CA. All of the named
"purpose" values implemented in libcrypto perform this check. Therefore,
where a purpose is set the certificate chain will still be rejected even
when the strict flag has been used. A purpose is set by default in libssl
client and server certificate verification routines, but it can be
overridden or removed by an application. In order to be affected, an
application must explicitly set the X509_V_FLAG_X509_STRICT verification
flag and either not set a purpose for the certificate verification or, in
the case of TLS client or server applications, override the default
purpose. OpenSSL versions 1.1.1h and newer are affected by this issue.
Users of these versions should upgrade to OpenSSL 1.1.1k. OpenSSL 1.0.2 is
not impacted by this issue. Fixed in OpenSSL 1.1.1k (Affected
1.1.1h-1.1.1j).
https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-3450
https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cginame=CVE-2021-3450
2. CVE-2021-3149
An OpenSSL TLS server may crash if sent a maliciously crafted renegotiation
ClientHello message from a client. If a TLSv1.2 renegotiation ClientHello
omits the signature_algorithms extension (where it was present in the
initial ClientHello), but includes a signature_algorithms_cert extension
then a NULL pointer dereference will result, leading to a crash and a
denial of service attack. A server is only vulnerable if it has TLSv1.2 and
renegotiation enabled (which is the default configuration). OpenSSL TLS
clients are not impacted by this issue. All OpenSSL 1.1.1 versions are
affected by this issue. Users of these versions should upgrade to OpenSSL
1.1.1k. OpenSSL 1.0.2 is not impacted by this issue. Fixed in OpenSSL
1.1.1k (Affected 1.1.1-1.1.1j).

What is CVSS
CVSS, or Common Vulnerability Scoring System, is the result of the National
Infrastructure Advisory Council's effort to standardize a system of assessing
the criticality of a vulnerability. This system offers an unbiased criticality
score between 0 and 10 that customers can use to judge how critical a
vulnerability is and plan accordingly. For more information, visit the CVSS
website at: https://www.first.org/cvss/ .
When calculating CVSS scores, McAfee has adopted a philosophy that fosters
consistency and repeatability. Our guiding principle for CVSS scoring is to
score the exploit under consideration by itself. We consider only the immediate
and direct impact of the exploit under consideration. We do not factor into a
score any potential follow-on exploits that might be made possible by the
successful exploitation of the issue being scored.
Where can I find a list of all Security Bulletins
All Security Bulletins are published on our external PSIRT website at https://
www.mcafee.com/us/threat-center/product-security-bulletins.aspx . To see
Security Bulletins for McAfee Enterprise products on this website click
Enterprise Security Bulletins . Security Bulletins are retired (removed) once a
product is both End of Sale and End of Support (End of Life).
How do I report a product vulnerability to McAfee
If you have information about a security issue or vulnerability with a McAfee
product, visit the McAfee PSIRT website for instructions at https://
www.mcafee.com/us/threat-center/product-security-bulletins.aspx . To report an
issue, click Report a Security Vulnerability .
How does McAfee respond to this and any other reported security flaws
Our key priority is the security of our customers. If a vulnerability is found
within any McAfee software or services, we work closely with the relevant
security software development team to ensure the rapid and effective
development of a fix and communication plan.
McAfee only publishes Security Bulletins if they include something actionable
such as a workaround, mitigation, version update, or hotfix. Otherwise, we
would simply be informing the hacker community that our products are a target,
putting our customers at greater risk. For products that are updated
automatically, a non-actionable Security Bulletin might be published to
acknowledge the discoverer.
