Overview

CVE-2014-0224 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting openssl openssl. It was published on June 5, 2014 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.4 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.4, rated HIGH. It can be exploited remotely over the network. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical description

OpenSSL before 0.9.8za, 1.0.0 before 1.0.0m, and 1.0.1 before 1.0.1h does not properly restrict processing of ChangeCipherSpec messages, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to trigger use of a zero-length master key in certain OpenSSL-to-OpenSSL communications, and consequently hijack sessions or obtain sensitive information, via a crafted TLS handshake, aka the "CCS Injection" vulnerability.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from openssl. Update openssl to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
