Nombre: Authentication Bypass: OpenSSL CTX Object Modified after SSL Objects are Created

The product modifies the SSL context after connection creation has begun.

Informaciones generales

Modos de introducción

Implementation : REALIZATION: This weakness is caused during implementation of an architectural security tactic.

Plataformas aplicables

Lenguaje

Clase: Not Language-Specific (Undetermined)

Consecuencias comunes

Alcance Impacto Probabilidad
Access ControlBypass Protection Mechanism

Note: No authentication takes place in this process, bypassing an assumed protection of encryption.
ConfidentialityRead Application Data

Note: If the program modifies the SSL_CTX object after creating SSL objects from it, there is the possibility that older SSL objects created from the original context could all be affected by that change. The encrypted communication between a user and a trusted host may be subject to a sniffing attack.

Mitigaciones potenciales

Phases : Architecture and Design
Use a language or a library that provides a cryptography framework at a higher level of abstraction.
Phases : Implementation
Most SSL_CTX functions have SSL counterparts that act on SSL-type objects.
Phases : Implementation
Applications should set up an SSL_CTX completely, before creating SSL objects from it.

Notas de mapeo de vulnerabilidades

Justificación : This CWE entry is at the Variant level of abstraction, which is a preferred level of abstraction for mapping to the root causes of vulnerabilities.
Comentario : Carefully read both the name and description to ensure that this mapping is an appropriate fit. Do not try to 'force' a mapping to a lower-level Base/Variant simply to comply with this preferred level of abstraction.
