CVE-2015-0205

Publication date 8 January 2015

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

The ssl3_get_cert_verify function in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 1.0.0 before 1.0.0p and 1.0.1 before 1.0.1k accepts client authentication with a Diffie-Hellman (DH) certificate without requiring a CertificateVerify message, which allows remote attackers to obtain access without knowledge of a private key via crafted TLS Handshake Protocol traffic to a server that recognizes a Certification Authority with DH support.

Notes

mdeslaur

precise isn't actually affected, as the code used to be wrong, resulting in a no-op, and having the same result as this security fix. See the following commit: https://git.openssl.org/gitweb/?p=openssl.git;a=commit;h=c2770c0e0e0da5f447227553c248f9a94504ee4e
