OpenSSL on a server configured with Kerberos ciphersuites denial of service
| openssl-kerberos-ciphersuites-dos (15508) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service. If a server is configured to use Kerberos ciphersuites, 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.
