Security Bulletin: OpenSSL vulnerability in IBM SAN Volume Controller and Storwize Family (CVE-2014-0224)

Security Bulletin

Summary

Security vulnerability in OpenSSL

Vulnerability Details

CVEID: CVE-2014-0224

DESCRIPTION: SSL/TLS MITM vulnerability

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. SVC and Storwize systems use OpenSSL server functionality and some versions are vulnerable (see below).

CVE-2014-0224
CVSS Base Score: 5.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/93586 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:N)
