RISK: High Risk
TYPE: Servers - Network Management
Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in OpenSSL. A remote user may be able to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks and cause denial of service conditions.
- The DTLS retransmission implementation does not properly maintain data structures for digest and encryption contexts. A remote user conducting a man-in-the-middle attacker may be able to trigger the use of a different context.
- The ssl_get_algorithm2() function in 'ssl/s3_lib.c' uses an incorrect version number. A remote user can send specially crafted data (using TLS 1.2) to cause the target service to crash.
Impact
- Denial of Service
- Security Restriction Bypass
System / Technologies affected
