-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 ============================================================================= FreeBSD-SA-24:13.openssl Security Advisory The FreeBSD Project Topic: Possible DoS in X.509 name checks in OpenSSL Category: contrib Module: openssl Announced: 2024-09-03 Credits: David Benjamin (Google) Affects: FreeBSD 14.x Corrected: 2024-09-03 17:09:21 UTC (stable/14, 14.1-STABLE) 2024-09-04 21:07:35 UTC (releng/14.1, 14.1-RELEASE-p4) 2024-09-04 20:54:20 UTC (releng/14.0, 14.0-RELEASE-p10) CVE Name: CVE-2024-6119 For general information regarding FreeBSD Security Advisories, including descriptions of the fields above, security branches, and the following sections, please visit <URL:https://security.FreeBSD.org/>. I. Background FreeBSD includes software from the OpenSSL Project. The OpenSSL Project is a collaborative effort to develop a robust, commercial-grade, full-featured Open Source toolkit for the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. It is also a general-purpose cryptography library. II. Problem Description Applications performing certificate name checks (e.g., TLS clients checking server certificates) may attempt to read an invalid memory address when comparing the expected name with an otherName subject alternative name of an X.509 certificate. Basic certificate chain validation is not affected. The issue only occurs when an application also specifies an expected DNS name, Email address or IP address. III. Impact Applications affected by the problem may result in a termination, leading to a denial of service. IV. Workaround No workaround is available. V. Solution Upgrade your vulnerable system to a supported FreeBSD stable or release / security branch (releng) dated after the correction date. Perform one of the following: 1) To update your vulnerable system via a binary patch: Systems running a RELEASE version of FreeBSD on the amd64 or arm64 platforms, or the i386 platform on FreeBSD 13, can be updated via the freebsd-update(8) utility: # freebsd-update fetch # freebsd-update install 2) To update your vulnerable system via a source code patch: The following patches have been verified to apply to the applicable FreeBSD release branches. a) Download the relevant patch from the location below, and verify the detached PGP signature using your PGP utility. # fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-24:13/openssl.patch # fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-24:13/openssl.patch.asc # gpg --verify openssl.patch.asc b) Apply the patch. Execute the following commands as root: # cd /usr/src # patch < /path/to/patch c) Recompile the operating system using buildworld and installworld as described in <URL:https://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/makeworld.html>. Restart all daemons that use the library, or reboot the system. VI. Correction details This issue is corrected as of the corresponding Git commit hash in the following stable and release branches: Branch/path Hash Revision - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- stable/14/ 5946b0c6cbc7 stable/14-n268645 releng/14.1/ 9a5a7c90d5e5 releng/14.1-n267703 releng/14.0/ abd3a7939117 releng/14.0-n265440 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Run the following command to see which files were modified by a particular commit: # git show --stat <commit hash> Or visit the following URL, replacing NNNNNN with the hash: <URL:https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=NNNNNN> To determine the commit count in a working tree (for comparison against nNNNNNN in the table above), run: # git rev-list --count --first-parent HEAD VII.
