CVE Name: CVE-2013-4353, CVE-2013-6449, CVE-2013-6450
For general information regarding FreeBSD Security Advisories,
including descriptions of the fields above, security branches, and the
following sections, please visit .
I. Background
FreeBSD includes software from the OpenSSL Project. The OpenSSL Project is
a collaborative effort to develop a robust, commercial-grade, full-featured
Open Source toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3)
and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) protocols as well as a full-strength
general purpose cryptography library.
II. Problem Description
A carefully crafted invalid TLS handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL
pointer exception. [CVE-2013-4353]
A flaw in DTLS handling can cause an application using OpenSSL and DTLS to
crash. [CVE-2013-6450]
A flaw in OpenSSL can cause an application using OpenSSL to crash when using
TLS version 1.2. [CVE-2013-6449]
III. Impact
An attacker can send a specifically crafted packet that could cause an OpenSSL
enabled application to crash, resulting in a Denial of Service.
IV. Workaround
No workaround is available.
V. Solution
Perform one of the following:
1) Upgrade your vulnerable system to a supported FreeBSD stable or
release / security branch (releng) dated after the correction date.
2) To update your vulnerable system via a source code patch:
The following patches have been verified to apply to the applicable
FreeBSD release branches.
a) Download the relevant patch from the location below, and verify the
detached PGP signature using your PGP utility.
# fetch http://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-14:03/openssl.patch
# fetch http://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-14:03/openssl.patch.asc
# gpg --verify openssl.patch.asc
b) Execute the following commands as root:
# cd /usr/src
# patch < /path/to/patch
Recompile the operating system using buildworld and installworld as
described in .
Restart all deamons using the library, or reboot the system.
3) To update your vulnerable system via a binary patch:
Systems running a RELEASE version of FreeBSD on the i386 or amd64
platforms can be updated via the freebsd-update(8) utility:
# freebsd-update fetch
# freebsd-update install
VI. Correction details
The following list contains the correction revision numbers for each
affected branch.
