Detail
| A flaw was discovered in PolarSSL, a lightweight crypto and SSL/TLS library, which can be exploited by a remote unauthenticated attacker to mount a denial of service against PolarSSL servers that offer GCM ciphersuites. Potentially clients are affected too if a malicious server decides to execute the denial of service attack against its clients. For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 1.2.9-1~deb7u3. For the testing distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 1.3.7-2.1. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.3.7-2.1. We recommend that you upgrade your polarssl packages. |
