Title: HPSBUX02638 SSRT100339 rev.1 - HP-UX Running OpenSSL, Remote Executionof
Arbitrary Code, Denial of Service (DoS), Authentication Bypass (ITRCLogin Required)
Potential Impact: A potential security vulnerability has been identified with HP-UX OpenSSL.
This vulnerability could be exploited remotely to execute arbitrary code or create a Denial of Service (DoS) or an authentication bypass.
Affected Versions:
HP-UX B.11.11, B.11.23, B.11.31 running OpenSSL before vA.00.09.08q
Multiple race conditions in ssl/t1_lib.c in OpenSSL 0.9.8f through 0.9.8o, 1.0.0, and 1.0.0a, when multi-threading and internal caching
are enabled on a TLS server, might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via client data that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow,
related to (1) the TLS server name extension and (2) elliptic curve cryptography. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2010-3864 to this issue.
OpenSSL before 0.9.8q, and 1.0.x before 1.0.0c, when SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG is enabled, does not properly prevent modification
of the ciphersuite in the session cache, which allows remote attackers to force the downgrade to an unintended cipher via vectors involving
sniffing network traffic to discover a session identifier. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2010-4180 to this issue.
OpenSSL before 1.0.0c, when J-PAKE is enabled, does not properly validate the public parameters in the J-PAKE protocol, which allows remote
attackers to bypass the need for knowledge of the shared secret, and successfully authenticate, by sending crafted values in each round of
the protocol. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2010-4252 to this issue.

Product: | Affected Version(s): | Risk Level: | Actions: |
---|---|---|---|
Avaya Proactive Contact | 3.0.4 | Medium | Upgrade to PC 4.2 or later. |
Recommended Actions for System Products:
Avaya strongly recommends that
customers follow
networking and security best practices by implementing
firewalls, ACLs, physical security or other appropriate
access restrictions. Though Avaya believes such
restrictions should always be in place, risk to Avaya
products and the surrounding network from this potential
vulnerability may be mitigated by ensuring these
practices are implemented until such time as an Avaya provided
product update or the recommended Avaya action is applied.
Further restrictions as deemed necessary based on the
customer's security policies may be required during this
interim period, but customers should not modify the System Product
operating system or application unless the change is approved by Avaya.
Making changes that are not approved may void the Avaya product service contract.
Additional information may also be available via the Avaya support website and through your Avaya account representative. Please contact your Avaya product support representative, or dial 1-800-242-2121, with any questions.
