Author: mandree Date: Tue Aug 13 06:17:32 2013 New Revision: 324651 URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/324651 Log: Record PolarSSL < 1.2.8 infinite loop denial of service. Note: the port has not yet been upgraded, and the fix then needs to be merged to the 9.2 ports branch before release.

As the RFC specifies that the certificates in the Certificate message are always X.509 certificates in DER format, bugs in the decoding of PEM certificates should normally not be triggerable via the SSL/TLS handshake. + </p><p> + Versions of PolarSSL prior to 1.1.7 in the 1.1 branch and prior to 1.2.8 in the 1.2 branch call the generic x509parse_crt() function for parsing during the handshake. x509parse_crt() is a generic functions that wraps parsing of both PEM-encoded and DER-formatted certificates. As a result it is possible to craft a Certificate message that includes a PEM encoded certificate in the Certificate message that triggers the infinite loop.</p> + </blockquote> + </body> + </description> + <references> + <url>https://polarssl.org/tech-updates/security-advisories/polarssl-security-advisory-2013-03</url>; + </references> + <dates> + <discovery>2013-06-21</discovery> + <entry>2013-08-13</entry> + </dates> + </vuln> + <vuln vid="e21c7c7a-0116-11e3-9e83-3c970e169bc2"> <topic>samba -- denial of service vulnerability</topic> <affects>
