Introduction This advisory describes the scope of the following recently-announced OpenSSL vulnerabilities, including Logjam:
CVE-2015-4000 (Logjam) CVE-2015-1788 CVE-2015-1789 CVE-2015-1790 CVE-2015-1792 CVE-2015-1791 CVE-2014-8176 Described in the sections below are actions being taken by Joyent, and actions recommended for customers to take:
We made this advisory public on 18-June-2015. This advisory is meant to be used in addition to our 20-March-2015 article regarding previously-announced OpenSSL vulnerabilities. Upgrading your own OpenSSL version 1.0.1 or 1.
Joyent Engineers are aware of the Venom (CVE-2015-3456) security vulnerability in the virtual floppy drive code used by many computer virtualization platforms. This vulnerability may allow an attacker to escape from the confines of an affected virtual machine (VM) guest and potentially obtain code-execution access to the host.
Although the flaw exists in our KVM/QEMU in the Joyent software (SmartDataCenter and the Joyent Public Cloud), our architecture runs QEMU inside of an additional secure container with almost no privileges.
The following sections describe the scope of several recently-announced Open SSL Vulnerabilities. We have included actions being taken by Joyent, and actions recommended for customers to take.
CVEs specific to OpenSSL version 1.0.2 Joyent has never shipped any versions of OpenSSL version 1.0.2 to customers, either in pkgsrc or as part of SmartDataCenter (SDC). If we do ship 1.0.2 versions in the future, they will be those versions known to contain the recent security fixes.
This notice is to advise all Joyent Public Cloud (JPC) and SmartDataCenter (SDC) customers of the recently-identified bash security vulnerability CVE-2014-6271 (http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2014/q3/649) and the follow-on CVE-2014-7169 (https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2014-7169), collectively known as Shellshock.
Note that CVE-2014-7169 has arisen due to incomplete fixes created for the CVE-2014-6271 vulnerability. (These fixes are created by the upstream maintainers of bash, not by Joyent.)
AT THIS TIME, JOYENT has patched the platform bash addressing CVE-2014-6271 as well as CVE-2014-7169 in the Joyent Public Cloud.
