OpenSSL do_change_cipher_spec function denial of service
| openssl-dochangecipherspec-dos (15505) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a NULL-pointer assignment in the do_change_cipher_spec function. A remote attacker can send a specially-crafted handshake to a server that uses the OpenSSL library to cause OpenSSL to crash.
Note: Any application that uses the OpenSSL's SSL/TLS library may be vulnerable.
Consequences:
Denial of Service
Remedy:
Upgrade to the latest version of OpenSSL (0.9.7d or 0.9.6m), as listed in OpenSSL Security Advisory [17 March 2004]. See References.
Recompile applications that are statically linked to OpenSSL libraries.
