 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                         MDVSA-2008:107
 http://www.mandriva.com/security/
 _______________________________________________________________________
 
 Package : openssl
 Date    : May 28, 2008
 Affected: 2008.1
 _______________________________________________________________________
 
 Problem Description:
 
 Testing using the Codenomicon TLS test suite discovered a flaw in
 the handling of server name extension data in OpenSSL 0.9.8f and
 OpenSSL 0.9.8g.  If OpenSSL has been compiled using the non-default
 TLS server name extensions, a remote attacker could send a carefully
 crafted packet to a server application using OpenSSL and cause a
 crash. (CVE-2008-0891)
 
 Testing using the Codenomicon TLS test suite discovered a flaw if
 the 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS handshake
 in OpenSSL 0.9.8f and OpenSSL 0.9.8g.  If a client connects to a
 malicious server with particular cipher suites, the server could
 cause the client to crash. (CVE-2008-1672)
 
 The updated packages have been patched to fix these flaws.
 
 Note that any applications using this library must be restarted for
 the update to take effect.
