  <title>OpenSSL: SSL 2.0 protocol rollback</title>
  <synopsis>
    When using a specific option, OpenSSL can be forced to fallback to the less
    secure SSL 2.0 protocol.

    <p>
    OpenSSL is a toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer, Transport
    Layer Security protocols and a general-purpose cryptography library.
    </p>

  <description>
    <p>
    Applications setting the SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING option (or the
    SSL_OP_ALL option, that implies it) can be forced by a third-party to
    fallback to the less secure SSL 2.0 protocol, even if both parties
    support the more secure SSL 3.0 or TLS 1.0 protocols.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="low">
    <p>
    A man-in-the-middle attacker can weaken the encryption used to
    communicate between two parties, potentially revealing sensitive
    information.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    If possible, disable the use of SSL 2.0 in all OpenSSL-enabled
    applications.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All OpenSSL users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose dev-libs/openssl</code>
  </resolution>
