CWE-20  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 lasso to version 2.2.1-2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream lasso package and not the lasso package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

Lasso 2.2.1 and earlier does not properly check the return value from the OpenSSL DSA_verify function, which allows remote attackers to bypass validation of the certificate chain via a malformed SSL/TLS signature, a similar vulnerability to CVE-2008-5077.
