Secunia is hiring, read about the open positions here!

Description:
Luigi Auriemma has discovered some vulnerabilities in yaSSL, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and to compromise an application using the library.

1) A boundary error exists within the "ProcessOldClientHello()" method in src/handshake.cpp. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted SSL version 2 "Hello" packet.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

2) A boundary error exists within the implementation of the input operator for SSL "Hello" packets in src/yassl_imp.cpp. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow via a specially crafted SSL version 3 "Hello" packet.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

3) A boundary error exists within the "HASHwithTransform::Update()" method in taocrypt/src/hash.cpp. This can be exploited to trigger an out-of-bounds read and crash an affected application via a specially crafted SSL "Hello" packet.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.7.5. Other versions may also be affected.
