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 has been found in OpenSSL up to 0.9.8x/1.0.0j/1.0.1c (Network Encryption Software) and classified as problematic. This vulnerability affects an unknown code block of the component TLS/DTLS Protocol CBC-Mode Ciphersuite Handler. The manipulation as part of a MEE-TLS-CBC Ciphersuite Construction leads to a cryptographic issue vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-310. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality. CVE summarizes:

The TLS protocol 1.1 and 1.2 and the DTLS protocol 1.0 and 1.2, as used in OpenSSL, OpenJDK, PolarSSL, and other products, do not properly consider timing side-channel attacks on a MAC check requirement during the processing of malformed CBC padding, which allows remote attackers to conduct distinguishing attacks and plaintext-recovery attacks via statistical analysis of timing data for crafted packets, aka the "Lucky Thirteen" issue.

The weakness was published 02/04/2013 by Nadhem J. AlFardan and Kenneth G. Paterson with Information Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London as secadv_20130205.txt as confirmed advisory (Website). The advisory is shared for download at isg.rhul.ac.uk. The public release has been coordinated with the vendor. This vulnerability was named CVE-2013-0169 since 12/06/2012. The attack can be initiated remotely. No form of authentication is required for a successful exploitation. Technical details are unknown but a public exploit is available. The current price for an exploit might be approx. USD $0-$5k (estimation calculated on 12/27/2024). The MITRE ATT&CK project declares the attack technique as T1600. This vulnerability has a historic impact due to its background and reception.

A public exploit has been developed by Nadhem J. AlFardan / Kenneth G. Paterson and been published immediately after the advisory. It is possible to download the exploit at isg.rhul.ac.uk. It is declared as proof-of-concept. As 0-day the estimated underground price was around $25k-$100k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 74906 (openSUSE Security Update : java-1_6_0-openjdk (openSUSE-SU-2013:0375-1)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family SuSE Local Security Checks and running in the context l. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 123974 (IBM WebSphere Application Server Multiple Vulnerabilities (swg21644047)).

Upgrading to version 0.9.8y, 1.0.0k or 1.0.1d eliminates this vulnerability. The upgrade is hosted for download at openssl.org. It is possible to mitigate the problem by adding IPsec/SSH as an encryption mechanism. The best possible mitigation is suggested to be upgrading to the latest version. A possible mitigation has been published immediately after the disclosure of the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at Tenable (74906), SecurityFocus (BID 57778†), OSVDB (89849†), Secunia (SA52036†) and SecurityTracker (ID 1028082†).
