Pardus Linux Security Advisory 2009-78            security@pardus.org.tr
------------------------------------------------------------------------

      Date: 2009-05-23
  Severity: 2
      Type: Remote
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Summary
======
Two  vulnerabilities have  been  reported  in  OpenSSL,  which  can  be

exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).


Description
==========
1) The library does not limit the number of buffered DTLS records with a
future epoch. This can be exploited to exhaust all available memory via

specially crafted DTLS packets.

2) An error when processing DTLS messages can be exploited  to  exhaust
all available memory by sending a  large  number  of  out  of  sequence
handshake messages.



Affected packages:

  Pardus 2008:
    openssl, all before 0.9.8k-21-8


Resolution
=========
There are update(s) for openssl. You can update them via Package Manager
or with a single command from console:

    pisi up openssl
