IBM SECURITY ADVISORY First Issued: Mon Jul 2 11:24:30 CDT 2018 The most recent version of this document is available here: http://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/efixes/security/openssl_advisory27.asc https://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/efixes/security/openssl_advisory27.asc ftp://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/efixes/security/openssl_advisory27.asc Security Bulletin: Vulnerability in OpenSSL affects AIX (CVE-2018-0737) =============================================================================== SUMMARY: There is a vulnerability in OpenSSL used by AIX. =============================================================================== VULNERABILITY DETAILS: CVEID: CVE-2018-0737 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2018-0737 https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2018-0737 DESCRIPTION: The OpenSSL RSA Key generation algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a cache timing side channel attack. An attacker with sufficient access to mount cache timing attacks during the RSA key generation process could recover the private key. CVSS Base Score: 3.3 CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/141679 for the current score CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector:NA AFFECTED PRODUCTS AND VERSIONS: AIX 5.3, 6.1, 7.1, 7.2 VIOS 2.2.x The following fileset levels are vulnerable: key_fileset = osrcaix Fileset Lower Level Upper Level KEY ------------------------------------------------------ openssl.base 1.0.2.500 1.0.2.1300 key_w_fs openssl.base 20.13.102.1000 20.13.102.1300 key_w_fs Note: A. 0.9.8, 1.0.1 OpenSSL versions are out-of-support. Customers are advised to upgrade to currently supported OpenSSL 1.0.2 version. B. Latest level of OpenSSL fileset is available from the web download site: https://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/iwm/web/reg/download.do?source=aixbp&lang=en_US&S_PKG=openssl&cp=UTF-8 To find out whether the affected filesets are installed on your systems, refer to the lslpp command found in the AIX user's guide. Example: lslpp -L | grep -i openssl.base REMEDIATION: FIXES A fix is available, and it can be downloaded from: https://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/iwm/web/preLogin.do?source=aixbp To extract the fixes from the tar file: For Openssl 1.0.2 version - zcat openssl-1.0.2.1500.tar.Z | tar xvf - For 1.0.2 FIPS capable openssl version - zcat openssl-20.13.102.1500.tar.Z | tar xvf - IMPORTANT: If possible, it is recommended that a mksysb backup of the system be created. Verify it is both bootable and readable before proceeding. Note that all the previously reported security vulnerability fixes are also included in above mentioned fileset level. Please refer to the readme file (provided along with the fileset) for the complete list of vulnerabilities fixed. To preview the fix installation: installp -apYd . openssl To install the fix package: installp -aXYd . openssl openssl dgst -sha1 -verify -signature .sig openssl dgst -sha1 -verify -signature .sig Published advisory OpenSSL signature file location: http://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/efixes/security/openssl_advisory27.asc.sig https://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/efixes/security/openssl_advisory27.asc.sig ftp://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/efixes/security/openssl_advisory27.asc.sig WORKAROUNDS AND MITIGATIONS: None. =============================================================================== CONTACT US: Note: Keywords labeled as KEY in this document are used for parsing purposes.
