vCenter 6u2 - TCP Vulnerabilitiy issues with openssl CVE-2016-2076

Hello,

I have 2 vulnerabilitiy issues detected on port "ldap (636/tcp)" and "unknow (11712/tcp)" on my vCenter 6 update 2 server =>

=========

1) "www (636/tcp)":

OpenSSL AES-NI Padding Oracle MitM Information Disclosure

  Synopsis : 

It was possible to obtain sensitive information from the remote host with TLS-enabled services.

  Description : 

The remote host is affected by a man-in-the-middle (MitM) information disclosure vulnerability due to an error in the implementation of ciphersuites that use AES in CBC mode with HMAC-SHA1 or HMAC-SHA256.

The implementation is specially written to use the AES acceleration available in x86/amd64 processors (AES-NI). The error messages returned by the server allow allow a man-in-the-middle attacker to conduct a padding oracle attack, resulting in the ability to decrypt network traffic.

  Solution : 

Upgrade to OpenSSL version 1.0.1t / 1.0.2h or later.

  Plugin Output : 

Nessus was able to trigger a RECORD_OVERFLOW alert in the

remote service by sending a crafted SSL "Finished" message.

  CVE : 

CVE-2016-2107

I'm experiencing the same vulnerability. I've posted about it here as well: NSX - Padding Oracle vulnerability - CVE-2016-2107

I think VMware needs to update the OpenSSL libraries within their products. I'm a bit perplexed since this vulnerability was found in April and was patched early May by OpenSSL.

If anyone knows of a way to mitigate or resolve please share!
