Security Advisory - Three OpenSSL Vulnerabilities in Huawei Products

  • SA No:huawei-sa-20170503-01-openssl
  • Initial Release Date: May 03, 2017
  • Last Release Date: Jan 15, 2020

On January 26, 2017, the OpenSSL Software Foundation released a security advisory that included three new vulnerabilities. 
If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial of Service attack. (Vulnerability ID: HWPSIRT-2017-02005) 
This vulnerability has been assigned a Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) ID: CVE-2017-3730. 
If an SSL/TLS server or client is running on a 32-bit host, and a specific cipher is being used, a truncated packet can cause that server or client to perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash. (Vulnerability ID: HWPSIRT-2017-02006) 
This vulnerability has been assigned a Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) ID: CVE-2017-3731. 
There is a vulnerability in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring procedure, if DH parameters are used and a private key is shared between multiple clients, a successful exploit could allow the attacker to access sensitive private key information. (Vulnerability ID: HWPSIRT-2017-02007)  
This vulnerability has been assigned a Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) ID: CVE-2017-3732.

Huawei has released software updates to fix these vulnerabilities. This advisory is available at the following link:
