Only TLS sessions + established using RSA key exchange are vulnerable to this + attack. </p> <p> Exploiting this vulnerability to conduct + a MiTM attack requires the attacker to complete the + initial attack, which may require thousands of server + requests, during the handshake phase of the targeted + session within the window of the configured handshake + timeout. This attack may be conducted against any TLS + session using RSA signatures, but only if cipher suites + using RSA key exchange are also enabled on the server. + The limited window of opportunity, limitations in + bandwidth, and latency make this attack significantly + more difficult to execute. </p> <p> RSA key exchange is + enabled by default although least prioritized if server + order is honored. For such a cipher suite to be chosen it + must also be supported by the client and probably the + only shared cipher suite. </p> <p> Captured TLS sessions + encrypted with ephemeral cipher suites (DHE or ECDHE) are + not at risk for subsequent decryption due to this + vulnerability. </p> <p> As a workaround if default cipher + suite configuration was used you can configure the server + to not use vulnerable suites with the ciphers option like + this: </p> <c> {ciphers, [Suite || Suite <- + ssl:cipher_suites(), element(1,Suite) =/= rsa]} </c> <p> + that is your code will look somethingh like this: </p> + <c> ssl:listen(Port, [{ciphers, [Suite || Suite <- + ssl:cipher_suites(), element(1,S) =/= rsa]} | Options]). + </c> <p> Thanks to Hanno Böck, Juraj Somorovsky and + Craig Young for reporting this vulnerability. </p> + <p> + Own Id: OTP-14748</p> + </item> + </list> + </section> + + </section> + <section><title>Improvements and New Features</title> + <list> + <item> + <p> + Create a little randomness in sending of session + invalidation messages, to mitigate load when whole table + is invalidated.</p> + <p> + Own Id: OTP-13490</p> + </item> + </list> + </section> + +</section> + +<section><title>SSL 7.3.2</title> + + <section><title>Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions</title> + <list> + <item> + <p> + Correct cipher suites conversion and gaurd expression. + Caused problems with GCM cipher suites and client side + option to set signature_algorithms extention values.</p> + <p> + Own Id: OTP-13525</p> + </item> + </list> + </section> + +</section> + +<section><title>SSL 7.3.1</title> + + <section><title>Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions</title> + <list> + <item> + <p> + Corrections to cipher suite handling using the 3 and 4 + tuple format in addition to commit + 89d7e21cf4ae988c57c8ef047bfe85127875c70c</p> + <p> + Own Id: OTP-13511</p> + </item> + </list> + </section> + + + <section><title>Improvements and New Features</title> + <list> + <item> + <p> + Make values for the TLS-1.2 signature_algorithms + extension configurable</p> + <p> + Own Id: OTP-13261</p> + </item> + </list> + </section> + +</section> + +<section><title>SSL 7.3</title> + + <section><title>Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions</title> + <list> + <item> + <p> + Make sure there is only one poller validator at a time + for validating the session cache.</p> + <p> + Own Id: OTP-13185</p> + </item> + <item> + <p> + A timing related issue could cause ssl to hang, + especially happened with newer versions of OpenSSL in + combination with ECC ciphers.</p> + <p> + Own Id: OTP-13253</p> + </item> + <item> + <p> + Work around a race condition in the TLS distribution + start.</p> + <p> + Own Id: OTP-13268</p> + </item> + <item> + <p> + Big handshake messages are now correctly fragmented in + the TLS record layer.</p> + <p> + Own Id: OTP-13306</p> + </item> + <item> + <p> + Improve portability of ECC tests in Crypto and SSL for + "exotic" OpenSSL versions.</p> + <p> + Own Id: OTP-13311</p> + </item> + <item> + <p> + Certificate extensions marked as critical are ignored + when using verify_none</p> + <p> + Own Id: OTP-13377</p> + </item> + <item> + <p> + If a certificate doesn't contain a CRL Distribution + Points extension, and the relevant CRL is not in the + cache, and the <c>crl_check</c> option is not set to + <c>best_effort</c> , the revocation check should fail.</p> + <p> + Own Id: OTP-13378</p> + </item> + <item> + <p> + Enable TLS distribution over IPv6</p> + <p> + Own Id: OTP-13391</p> + </item> + </list> + </section> + + + <section><title>Improvements and New Features</title> + <list> + <item> + <p> + Improve error reporting for TLS distribution</p> + <p> + Own Id: OTP-13219</p> + </item> + <item> + <p> + Include options from connect, listen and accept in + <c>connection_information/1,2</c></p> + <p> + Own Id: OTP-13232</p> + </item> + <item> + <p> + Allow adding extra options for outgoing TLS distribution + connections, as supported for plain TCP connections.</p> + <p> + Own Id: OTP-13285</p> + </item> + <item> + <p> + Use loopback as server option in TLS-distribution module</p> + <p> + Own Id: OTP-13300</p> + </item> + <item> + <p> + Verify certificate signature against original certificate + binary.</p> + <p> + This avoids bugs due to encoding errors when re-encoding + a decode certificate.
