+ <title>OpenSSL: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ A buffer underflow vulnerability and an information disclosure
+ vulnerability have been discovered in OpenSSL.

+ Moritz Jodeit reported an off-by-one error in the
+ SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function, resulting from an incomplete fix of
+ CVE-2006-3738. A flaw has also been reported in the
+ BN_from_montgomery() function in crypto/bn/bn_mont.c when performing
+ Montgomery multiplication.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker sending a specially crafted packet to an application
+ relying on OpenSSL could possibly execute arbitrary code with the
+ privileges of the user running the application. A local attacker could
+ perform a side channel attack to retrieve the RSA private keys.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All OpenSSL users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-libs/openssl-0.9.8e-r3"</code>
