Subject:		UnixWare 7.1.3 UnixWare 7.1.4 : OpenSSL Potential SSL 2.0 Rollback Vulnerability
Advisory number:	SCOSA-2005.48
Issue date:		2005 November 15
Cross reference:	fz533160
 			CVE-2005-2969
______________________________________________________________________________


1. Problem Description

 	A vulnerability has been found in OpenSSL which potentially
 	affects applications that use the SSL/TLS server implementation
 	provided by OpenSSL.

 	Such applications are affected if they use the option
 	SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING.  This option is implied by use of
 	SSL_OP_ALL, which is intended to work around various bugs in
 	third-party software that might prevent interoperability.  The
 	SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING option disables a verification
 	step in the SSL 2.0 server supposed to prevent active
 	protocol-version rollback attacks.  With this verification step
 	disabled, an attacker acting as a "man in the middle" can force
 	a client and a server to negotiate the SSL 2.0 protocol even if
 	these parties both support SSL 3.0 or TLS 1.0.  The SSL 2.0
 	protocol is known to have severe cryptographic weaknesses and is
 	supported as a fallback only.

 	Applications using neither SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING nor
 	SSL_OP_ALL are not affected.  Also, applications that disable
 	use of SSL 2.0 are not affected.

 	The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
 	has assigned the name CVE-2005-2969 to this issue.
