OpenSSL Security Advisory - CVE-2012-2110
Earlier today, the OpenSSL team released a fix for a recently discovered vulnerability that exposes applications, that use certain features of OpenSSL, to a heap overflow.
Since OpenSSL is used extensively, there is much speculation and discussion about who is vulnerable. Here are some highlights and links of the reading I've done today.
- UPGRADE to the latest version as soon as you can. [1]
- The SSL/TLS code of OpenSSL is *not* affected. [1]
Which means, OpenSSH is NOT vulnerable. - Read a good detailed explanation of the vulnerability by Tavis Ormandy. [2]
Tavis is credited with discovering the vulnerability. - If Apache is using PEM for certificates, and not parsing untrusted data, then you risks are lower. [1]
