CVE-2008-5077

Summary

OpenSSL 0.9.7a-33.24 and earlier does not properly check the return value from the EVP_VerifyFinal function, which could allow a remote attacker to bypass validation of the certificate chain via a malformed SSL/TLS signature for DSA and ECDSA keys.

This patch fixes this issue. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2008-5077 to this issue.

Download Instructions

Download and verify the patch bundle as follows:

Download patch ESX-1008409 from http://www.vmware.com/download/vi/vi3_patches.html .

Log in to the ESX Server service console as root.

Create a local depot directory.

# mkdir -p /var/updates

Note: VMware recommends that you use the updates directory.

Change your working directory to /var/updates.

# cd /var/updates

Download the tar file into the /var/updates directory.

Verify the integrity of the downloaded tar file:

# md5sum ESX-1008409.tgz

The md5 checksum output should match the following:

cb25fd47bc0713b968d8778c033bc846 ESX-1008409.tgz

Extract the compressed tar archive:

# tar -xvzf ESX-1008409.tgz

Change to the newly created directory, /var/updates/ESX-1008409:

# cd ESX-1008409

Installation Instructions

After you download and extract the archive, and if you are in the directory that you previously created, use the following command to install the update:

# esxupdate update

To run esxupdate from a different directory, you must specify the bundle path in the command:

# esxupdate -r file://<directory>/ESX-1008409 update

For example, if the host is called depot:

# esxupdate -r file:///depot/var/updates/ESX-1008409 update

During the update process, logs appear on the terminal. You can specify the verbosity of esxupdate logs by using the -v option as shown, below.

# esxupdate -v 10 file://<directory>/ESX-1008409 update

For more information on how to use esxupdate, see the Patch Management for ESX Server 3 tech note at http://www.vmware.com/pdf/esx3_esxupdate.pdf.
