Package: openssl
Version: 0.9.8g-15
Severity: important
Tags: security
Hi,
the following CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id was
published for openssl.
CVE-2009-0653[0]:
| OpenSSL, probably 0.9.6, does not verify the Basic Constraints for an
| intermediate CA-signed certificate, which allows remote attackers to
| spoof the certificates of trusted sites via a man-in-the-middle
| attack, a related issue to CVE-2002-0970.
I wasn't really sure about this issue, so could you maybe state your
opinion on it?
If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE id in your changelog entry.
Cheers
Steffen

Upstream said it was fixed in 0.9.5, but looking a the timeline
that doesn't seem to make sense. 0.9.6 was from 2000, 0.9.7
from 2002.
In any case, I believe the 0.9.8 versions are all ok. We do have
openssl097 in oldstable, that was released in 2006, so I believe
that has been fixed too.
So I'm closing this bug.
Kurt
