USN-4376-1: OpenSSL vulnerabilities openssl vulnerabilities A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: Ubuntu 19.10 Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Summary Several security issues were fixed in OpenSSL. Software Description openssl – Secure Socket Layer (SSL) cryptographic library and tools Details Cesar Pereida García, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri, Iaroslav Gridin, Alejandro Cabrera Aldaya, and Billy Brumley discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled ECDSA signatures. An attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a timing side-channel attack and recover private ECDSA keys.

This may result in applications that use the fork() system call sharing the same RNG state between the parent and the child, contrary to expectations. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 19.10. (CVE-2019-1549) Guido Vranken discovered that OpenSSL [ more… ]
