+Topic:          OpenSSL alternate chains certificate forgery vulnerability
+
+Category:       contrib
+Module:         openssl
+Announced:      2015-07-09
+Credits:        Adam Langley/David Benjamin (Google/BoringSSL), OpenSSL
+Affects:        FreeBSD 10.1-STABLE after 2015-06-11 and prior to the
+                correction date.
+Corrected:      2015-07-09 17:17:22 UTC (stable/10, 10.2-PRERELEASE,
+                                         10.2-BETA1)
+CVE Name:       CVE-2015-1793
+
+For general information regarding FreeBSD Security Advisories,
+including descriptions of the fields above, security branches, and the
+following sections, please visit <URL:https://security.FreeBSD.org/>.
+
+I.   Background
+
+FreeBSD includes software from the OpenSSL Project.  The OpenSSL Project is
+a collaborative effort to develop a robust, commercial-grade, full-featured
+Open Source toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3)
+and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) protocols as well as a full-strength
+general purpose cryptography library.
+
+II.  Problem Description
+
+During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an alternative
+certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain fails, unless
+the application explicitly specifies X509_V_FLAG_NO_ALT_CHAINS.
+
+An error in the implementation of this logic could erroneously mark
+certificate as trusted when they should not.
+
+III. Impact
+
+An attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates, such as the
+CA (certificate authority) flag, to be bypassed, which would enable them to
+use a valid leaf certificate to act as a CA and issue an invalid certificate.
+
+IV.  Workaround
+
+No workaround is available.
+
+NOTE WELL: This issue does not affect earlier FreeBSD releases, including the
+supported 8.4, 9.3 and 10.1-RELEASE because the alternative certificate chain
+feature was not introduced in these releases.  Only 10.1-STABLE after
+2015-06-11 and prior to the correction date is affected.
+
+V.   Solution
+
+Upgrade your vulnerable system to the latest supported FreeBSD stable/10
+branch dated after the correction date.
+
+Recompile the operating system using buildworld and installworld as
+described in <URL:https://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/makeworld.html>.
+
+Restart all deamons using the library, or reboot the system.
+
+VI.  Correction details
+
+The following list contains the correction revision numbers for each
+affected branch.
