Affordable Care Act Phishing Campaign

Original release date: January 15, 2015

US-CERT is aware of a phishing campaign purporting to come from a U.S. Federal Government Agency. The phishing emails reference the Affordable Care Act in the subject and claim to direct users to health coverage information, but instead direct them to sites which attempt to elicit private information or install malicious code.

US-CERT encourages users to take the following measures to protect themselves:

  • Do not follow links or download attachments in unsolicited email messages.
  • Maintain up-to-date antivirus software.
  • Refer to the Avoiding Social Engineering and Phishing Attacks Security Tip for additional information on social engineering attacks.

If affected by the campaign, users should report the incident to appropriate parties within their organization and notify US-CERT.

FreeBSD Security Advisory – OpenSSL Updates

FreeBSD Security Advisory – A carefully crafted DTLS message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer dereference. A memory leak can occur in the dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. When OpenSSL is built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer dereference. An OpenSSL client will accept a handshake using an ephemeral ECDH ciphersuite using an ECDSA certificate if the server key exchange message is omitted. An OpenSSL client will accept the use of an RSA temporary key in a non-export RSA key exchange ciphersuite. An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication without the certificate verify message. OpenSSL accepts several non-DER-variations of certificate signature algorithm and signature encodings. OpenSSL also does not enforce a match between the signature algorithm between the signed and unsigned portions of the certificate. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect results on some platforms, including x86_64.
