Security Bulletin: IBM SDN for Virtual Environments is affected by a vulnerability
in OpenSSL (CVE-2014-0224)

Security Bulletin


Summary

A security vulnerability has been discovered in OpenSSL.

Vulnerability Details

CVE-ID: CVE-2014-0224


DESCRIPTION: An attacker using a carefully crafted handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL SSL/TLS clients and servers. This can be exploited by a Man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack where the attacker can decrypt and modify traffic from the attacked client and server. The attack can only be performed between a vulnerable client *and* server. OpenSSL clients are vulnerable in all versions of OpenSSL. Servers are only known to be vulnerable in OpenSSL 1.0.1 and 1.0.2-beta1. Users of OpenSSL servers earlier than 1.0.1 are advised to upgrade as a precaution.
