Hello all

In March 2021 the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) published 2 vulnerability's with effects OpenSSL 1.1.1

this is the published information:

Openssl will release new update on 2021/03/25, it will fix two "High" severity issues. These issues does not affect OpenSSL versions before 1.1.1:
CVE-2021-3449: NULL pointer deref in signature_algorithms processing
CVE-2021-3450: CA certificate check bypass with X509_V_FLAG_X509_STRICT

Both of these two CVE issues will be fixed through OpenSSL 1.1.1k on 2021/03/25, before that:
CVE-2021-3449: All OpenSSL 1.1.1 versions
CVE-2021-3450: OpenSSL 1.1.1h and newer

Does Anybody know If Extreme Networks already supports the OpenSSL 1.1.1k?

Kind Regards

Hi Rien,

good question. I can only speak for EXOS and XMC/NAC:

EXOS (30.7) uses openssl-fips-2.0.16 which is based on openssl 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 - so it’s not affected
XMC (8.5.5) uses openssl 1.1.1 - it’s affected

Does Anybody know If Extreme Networks already supports the OpenSSL 1.1.1k?

About which products do you speak?

Best regards
Stefan
