Test for and Patch the Heartbleed Bug

by | May 14, 2015 | Content Security, Webapps, Website Design | 0 comments

OpenSSL versions 1.0.1 through 1.0.1f (inclusive) are compromised with a vulnerability that makes it possible to steal information. Patched versions of the OpenSSL may have been back ported to the “built on” date newer or equal to April 2014 should be a good indicator if OpenSSL has been patched.

openssl version -b

While the Linux system may be patched, third-party application stacks may not be. In this example, an installation of an older version, 5.4.14-0, of a Bitnami LAMP Stack, was vulnerable and required patching. Bitnami issued a patch for their products, but it wasn’t completely clear to me which Bitnami products the patch would be applicable. However, the bitnami-opensslfixer-1.0.1g-1-linux-x64-installer.run, turns out to be the solution to patch the vulnerable OpenSSL within this version of the Bitnami LAMP Stack.

Test for the Heartbleed Bug

How to determine if the Heartbleed bug exists? There are a couple of detection methods that are available on the Internet. One that proved to be popular, inconclusive, and provides false-positives was with this following command.

echo quit | openssl s_client -connect localhost:443 -tlsextdebug 2>&1|grep 'server extension "heartbeat" (id=15)' || echo safe
TLS server extension "heartbeat" (id=15), len=1

The command, when issued with an incorrect value or where OpenSSL was not implemented within the application, would under certain conditions provide a false-positive.

A better method for testing is through the use of a python script. The script:

#!/usr/bin/python

# Quick and dirty demonstration of CVE-2014-0160 originally by Jared Stafford (jspenguin@jspenguin.org)
# The author disclaims copyright to this source code.
# Modified by SensePost based on lots of other people's efforts (hard to work out credit via PasteBin)

Prior to executing the python script, make sure that the Apache server is running, one way to do this is with the following command.

netstat -ntlpn | grep httpd

To run add option -p for the appropriate port number to test, defaults to 443. And add a -q to display a more condensed response to the test. To really see the impact of the Heartbleed bug, run this command without the -q option to see the verbose output.

./ht.py bitnami.example.com -p 443 -q
Scanning bitnami.example.com on port 443
 ... received message: type = 22, ver = 0302, length = 66
 ... received message: type = 22, ver = 0302, length = 449

 ... received message: type = 22, ver = 0302, length = 4

WARNING: server bitnami.example.com returned more data than it should - server is vulnerable!

Fix the Bitnami LAMP Stack

Probably for good measure stop the Apache service. Though tests without stopping the Apache service were successful in applying the patch and running the python script indicated that the patch had succeeded. The service may not have to be restarted. Though may be a good thing to do.  Pending upon the level of impact of the service restart. If you haven’t already downloaded the 32-bit or 64-bit version of the bitnami-opensslfixer-1.0.1g-1, here are steps to do so.

# 64-bit
wget https://downloads.bitnami.com/files/download/opensslfixer/bitnami-opensslfixer-1.0.1g-1-linux-x64-installer.run
chmod +x ./bitnami-opensslfixer-1.0.1g-1-linux-x64-installer.run

#32-bit
wget https://downloads.bitnami.com/files/download/opensslfixer/bitnami-opensslfixer-1.0.1g-1-linux-installer.run
chmod +x ./bitnami-opensslfixer-1.0.1g-1-linux-installer.run

Discover the available options by running the –help extension.

./bitnami-opensslfixer-1.01g-1-linux-x64-installer.run --help

Run the patch in unattended mode, which likely starts the service upon completion!

./bitnami-opensslfixer-1.0.1g-1-linux-x64-installer.run --mode unattended --prefix /opt/lamp-5.4.14-0
Detected vulnerable OpenSSL version, preparing to patch it...
./bitnami-opensslfixer-1.0.1g-1-linux-x64-installer.run --mode unattended --prefix /opt/lamp-5.4.14-0
Your OpenSSL version seems to be safe

You can also run the patch in normal mode and answer a few prompted questions.

./bitnami-opensslfixer-1.01g-1-linux-x64-installer.run

Start the Apache service if it is not already running and run the python script again. Note that the echo command used to determine OpenSSL will show evidence that the bug remains, so has proven ineffective. The python script should result in a favorable response.

./ht.py bitnami.example.com -p 443 -q
Scanning bitnami.example.com on port 443
 ... received message: type = 22, ver = 0302, length = 66
 ... received message: type = 22, ver = 0302, length = 449
 ... received message: type = 22, ver = 0302, length = 203
 ... received message: type = 22, ver = 0302, length = 4
