OpenSSL CVE-2014-0160

[MSchneider]

All,

McAfee will not discuss this matter in this forum.

Please subscribed to SNS: https://sns.snssecure.mcafee.com/content/signup_login as all cummunication will happen over that channel or contact your Platinum Support Account Manager.

In addition monitor this security bulleting in our Knowledge Center: https://kc.mcafee.com/corporate/index?page=content&id=SB10071 and the KC in general for announcements.

thanks,

Michael

McAfee apparently will not discuss this matter in any way, let alone in this forum. There's been NO communication regarding ePO or MWG via SNS, or apparently to anyone who opened a support case. A disappointing response from a security company to say the least.

Is Mcafee Web Gateway 7.3.2.7 vulnerable? As I see it uses OpenSSL 1.0.1e which is vulnerable.

How did you determine this?  I'd like to check my version but don't know where to go to see this information.

Thanks!

You can check your OpenSSL version on Linux Shell

Use putty or something similar - ssh to the box and login as root

Command:

yum list openssl

The important output:

Installed Packages

openssl.i686                         1.0.1e-8.mlos2               installed

openssl.x86_64                   1.0.1e-8.mlos2               installed

Thanks, Stefan -

That did the trick.

Of course, you can guess that the result was not good news though.

MWG 7.3.2.8 still uses OpenSSL 1.0.1e - Full version: 1.0.1e-10.mlos2

Maybe it is just a recompile with flag set -DOPENSSL_NO_HEARTBEATS

Hello,

rpm -qa openssl on command-line will give you the full version information.

Unpatched:

openssl.i686                  1.0.1e-8.mlos2        

openssl.x86_64                1.0.1e-8.mlos2       

Patched:

openssl.i686                  1.0.1e-10.mlos2      

openssl.x86_64                1.0.1e-10.mlos2   

lf you see "10" you are running a patched version.

Best,

Andre

Hello Andre

Thank you for clarification

yum and rpm both output full version numbers, but yum also lists available packages.

In my opinion your solution rpm -qa openssl is preferable as in this case only really important information is shown.

And again I see that still a lot of essential Linux knowledge is missing...

Hello,

no worries! Whatever you are missing, we like to help 🙂

Maybe just as another note in regards to the version numbers:

Many announcement and press releases point out a statement like "all OpenSSL versions < 1.0.1g are affected". So with the fix we made you still see "e" rather than "g" as the version number, which may look strange. The reason is rather simple. If we switch from "e" to "g" this would mean we implement the fix, but also all additional changes and feature modifications which happened between "e" and "g". This would have required extensive testing since noone can exactly tell what other impacts the new new and changed features in the "g" version might have.

Instead the  "e" version got a security fix, which solves the heartbleed issue.

Best,

Andre

Actually the situation is absolutely disappointing.

The SR I submitted on 2014-04-08 around 12:00 UTC is still unanswered. The only information I got about 45 minutes later:

"Regarding the CVE-2014-0160 / SSL vulnerability our engineering team is currently checking the issue and we will revert back as soon as possible."

And today a status update: Escalated

That's all
