Synopsis
========
Multiple Information Disclosure vulnerabilities in OpenSSL allow
attackers to obtain sensitive information.
Background
==========
OpenSSL is an Open Source toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) as well as a general
purpose cryptography library.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 dev-libs/openssl < 1.0.2r >= 1.0.2r
Description
===========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in OpenSSL. Please review
the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
Impact
======
A remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by the
failure to immediately close the TCP connection after the hosts
encounter a zero-length record with valid padding.
A local attacker could run a malicious process next to legitimate
processes using the architectureas parallel thread running capabilities
to leak encrypted data from the CPU's internal processes.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All OpenSSL users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/openssl-1.0.2r"
