OpenSSL up to 1.0.1b CBC Encryption numeric error

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.

Summaryinfo

A vulnerability identified as problematic has been detected in OpenSSL up to 1.0.1b. The affected element is an unknown function in the library CBC Encryption. Performing a manipulation results in numeric error. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2012-2333. Furthermore, an exploit is available. You should upgrade the affected component.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in OpenSSL up to 1.0.1b (Network Encryption Software). This affects some unknown functionality in the library CBC Encryption. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a numeric error vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-189. This is going to have an impact on availability. The summary by CVE is:

Integer underflow in OpenSSL before 0.9.8x, 1.0.0 before 1.0.0j, and 1.0.1 before 1.0.1c, when TLS 1.1, TLS 1.2, or DTLS is used with CBC encryption, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted TLS packet that is not properly handled during a certain explicit IV calculation.

The weakness was published 05/10/2012 with Codenomicon as confirmed knowledge base article (Website). The advisory is shared at openssl.org. The public release happened without involvement of the project team. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2012-2333 since 04/19/2012. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Technical details and a private exploit are known.

It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 69692 (Amazon Linux AMI : openssl (ALAS-2012-85)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Amazon Linux Local Security Checks and running in the context l. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 120905 (Solaris 11 Support Repository Update (SRU) 9.5 Missing).

Upgrading to version 1.0.1c, 1.0.0j eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published immediately after the disclosure of the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (75525), Tenable (69692), SecurityFocus (BID 53476†), OSVDB (81810†) and Secunia (SA49116†). Similar entries are available at VDB-5777, VDB-5760, VDB-6772 and VDB-60754. Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
