mod_nss: invalid handling of +CIPHER operator
| Package(s): | mod_nss | CVE #(s): | CVE-2016-3099 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Created: | April 26, 2016 | Updated: | December 15, 2016 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description: | From the Red Hat bugzilla:
It was reported that +CIPHER operator in OpenSSL changes the order of a cipher. Since cipher ordering isn't supported in NSS, the mod_nss code was supposed to return an error. Instead it returned the result of processing up to that point. Default OpenSSL cipher string: !SSLv2:kEECDH:kRSA:kEDH:kPSK:+3DES:!aNULL:!eNULL:!MD5:!EXP:!RC4:!SEED:!IDEA:!DES Would not properly exclude anything because only the first 5 elements would be examined. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
