OpenSSL Heartbleed bug: CVE-2014-0160

Hi,

Just wondering if any Palo Alto versions are affected by this bug in OpenSSL?

Palo Alto has just released threat and content version 430

[efellows]

yes, and I've just applied it and still the same. No entries in threat log for threated 36416 when doing vulnerability tests with all available online tools.

Are you performing SSL inspection? Still trying to work out if this is required to catch this vulnerability with IPS... Depends if it happens inside an establish TLS tunnel or in clear text I suppose?

[gafrol]

This does not require to have inbound SSL inspection in place. The vuln is detected during SSL negotiation.

[gafrol]

I guess the targeted host must have a vulnerable version of openssl installed to trigger one of the four TP signatures. At least I cannot trigger an alert with 430 installed against a non vulnerable host. Makes sense somehow...

Thank you!

Got it all working perfectly now at several locations. I also created a custom rule to block/drop those medium severity signatures in the latest update, this results in the online tests failing too (malformed response) to give clients some extra peace of mind.

Seeing a large number of IPs from China trying to exploit this!

Several days of replacing SSL certificates ahead of me now!

Good luck !

What parameters did you use to trigger this rule?  I'm not seeing any way to trigger on a threat ID or anything like that.:smileyconfused:

[Dpeters1]

Just used heartbleed in the threat name on the rule in the Vuln' protection profile and set the action to block

This forces traffic to be dropped for the "medium" severity threats related to heartbleed in the 430 update.

Effect from one of the online tests will be a timeout and you'll get an event in the threat log.

The target system MUST be vulnerable to trigger these signatures, if you've already patched it you wont see anything in the logs.

I cannot get the 430 update to download it failed
