Ubuntu Security Notice USN-6039-1

Ubuntu Security Notice 6039-1 - It was discovered that OpenSSL was not properly managing file locks when processing policy constraints. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a certificate chain with specially crafted policy constraints, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.10. David Benjamin discovered that OpenSSL was not properly performing the verification of X.509 certificate chains that include policy constraints, which could lead to excessive resource consumption. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted X.509 certificate chain that includes policy constraints, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service.

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-6039-1
April 25, 2023

openssl, openssl1.0 vulnerabilities

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

  • Ubuntu 23.04
  • Ubuntu 22.10
  • Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
  • Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
  • Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
  • Ubuntu 16.04 ESM
  • Ubuntu 14.04 ESM

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in OpenSSL.

Software Description:

  • openssl: Secure Socket Layer (SSL) cryptographic library and tools
  • openssl1.0: Secure Socket Layer (SSL) cryptographic library and tools

Details:

It was discovered that OpenSSL was not properly managing file locks when
processing policy constraints. If a user or automated system were tricked
into processing a certificate chain with specially crafted policy
constraints, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a
denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Ubuntu
22.10. (CVE-2022-3996)

David Benjamin discovered that OpenSSL was not properly performing the
verification of X.509 certificate chains that include policy constraints,
which could lead to excessive resource consumption. If a user or automated
system were tricked into processing a specially crafted X.509 certificate
chain that includes policy constraints, a remote attacker could possibly
use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2023-0464)

David Benjamin discovered that OpenSSL was not properly handling invalid
certificate policies in leaf certificates, which would result in certain
policy checks being skipped for the certificate. If a user or automated
system were tricked into processing a specially crafted certificate, a
remote attacker could possibly use this issue to assert invalid
certificate policies and circumvent policy checking. (CVE-2023-0465)

David Benjamin discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly documented the
functionalities of function X509_VERIFY_PARAM_add0_policy, stating that
it would implicitly enable certificate policy checks when doing
certificate verifications, contrary to its implementation. This could
cause users and applications to not perform certificate policy checks
even when expected to do so. (CVE-2023-0466)

Debian Security Advisory 5417-1

Debian Linux Security Advisory 5417-1 - Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in OpenSSL, a Secure Sockets Layer toolkit.

CVE-2023-0466

The function X509_VERIFY_PARAM_add0_policy() is documented to implicitly enable the certificate policy check when doing certificate verification. However the implementation of the function does not enable the check which allows certificates with invalid or incorrect policies to pass the certificate verification. As suddenly enabling the policy check could break existing deployments it was decided to keep the existing behavior of the X509_VERIFY_PARAM_add0_policy() function. Instead the applications that require OpenSSL to perform certificate policy check need to use X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_policies() or explicitly enable the policy check by calling X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_flags() with the X509_V_FLAG_POLICY_CHECK flag argument. Certificate policy checks are disabled by default in OpenSSL and are not commonly used by applications.

CVE-2023-0465

Applications that use a non-default option when verifying certificates may be vulnerable to an attack from a malicious CA to circumvent certain checks. Invalid certificate policies in leaf certificates are silently ignored by OpenSSL and other certificate policy checks are skipped for that certificate. A malicious CA could use this to deliberately assert invalid certificate policies in order to circumvent policy checking on the certificate altogether. Policy processing is disabled by default but can be enabled by passing the `-policy' argument to the command line utilities or by calling the `X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_policies()' function.

CVE-2023-0464

A security vulnerability has been identified in all supported versions of OpenSSL related to the verification of X.509 certificate chains that include policy constraints. Attackers may be able to exploit this vulnerability by creating a malicious certificate chain that triggers exponential use of computational resources, leading to a denial-of-service (DoS) attack on affected systems. Policy processing is disabled by default but can be enabled by passing the `-policy' argument to the command line utilities or by calling the `X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_policies()' function.

OpenSSL Fixes Multiple New Security Flaws with Latest Update

The OpenSSL Project has released fixes to address several security flaws, including a high-severity bug in the open source encryption toolkit that could potentially expose users to malicious attacks.

CVE-2022-3996: x509: fix double locking problem · openssl/openssl@7725e7b

If an X.509 certificate contains a malformed policy constraint and policy processing is enabled, then a write lock will be taken twice recursively. On some operating systems (most widely: Windows) this results in a denial of service when the affected process hangs. Policy processing being enabled on a publicly facing server is not considered to be a common setup. Policy processing is enabled by passing the `-policy' argument to the command line utilities or by calling either `X509_VERIFY_PARAM_add0_policy()' or `X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_policies()' functions.
