CVE-2014-3508: The OBJ_obj2txt function in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c in OpenSSL 0.9.8 before 0.9.8zb, 1.0.0 before 1.0.0n,...

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2014-3508 is an OpenSSL information disclosure flaw. In affected versions, some certificate-name printing paths could include unintended process stack data in their output. Business impact depends on whether applications expose that output to users, logs, or remote requesters. Exposure is likely where OpenSSL 0.9.8 before 0.9.8zb, 1.0.0 before 1.0.0n, or 1.0.1 before 1.0.1i is used and certificate or object-name output is attacker-visible. Treat as a planned security update unless affected output is externally exposed or sensitive systems still run old OpenSSL. Prioritize internet-facing and compliance-sensitive environments first. Mitigation focus: Upgrade OpenSSL to 0.9.8zb, 1.0.0n, 1.0.1i, or a vendor-patched package.; Apply relevant OS or appliance vendor advisories for bundled OpenSSL builds.; Check vendor guidance for embedded products or statically linked applications..
