OpenSSL up to 1.0.1e Handshake ssl/s3_both.c ssl3_take_mac TLS Record input validation

CVSS Meta Temp Score
CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.
Current Exploit Price (≈)
Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.
CTI Interest Score
Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in OpenSSL up to 1.0.1e (Network Encryption Software). It has been classified as critical. Affected is the function ssl3_take_mac of the file ssl/s3_both.c of the component Handshake Handler. The manipulation as part of a TLS Record leads to a input validation vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-20. The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly. This is going to have an impact on availability. CVE summarizes:

The ssl3_take_mac function in ssl/s3_both.c in OpenSSL 1.0.1 before 1.0.1f allows remote TLS servers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted Next Protocol Negotiation record in a TLS handshake.

The issue has been introduced in 03/14/2012. The weakness was presented 01/06/2014 by Anton Johansson as DSA-2837-1 openssl -- programming error as confirmed advisory (Website). The advisory is available at debian.org. The public release was coordinated in cooperation with the vendor. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2013-4353 since 06/12/2013. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploitation doesn't require any form of authentication. Technical details are known, but there is no available exploit.

The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 663 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $25k-$100k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 71904 (Fedora 19 : openssl-1.0.1e-37.fc19 (2014-0456)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Fedora Local Security Checks. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 350258 (Amazon Linux Security Advisory for openssl: AL2012-2014-003).

Upgrading to version 1.0.1f eliminates this vulnerability. The upgrade is hosted for download at git.openssl.org. A possible mitigation has been published immediately after the disclosure of the vulnerability. Furthermore it is possible to detect and prevent this kind of attack with TippingPoint and the filter 16298.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (90201), Tenable (71904), SecurityFocus (BID 63737†), OSVDB (101843†) and Secunia (SA56286†).
