K15343 : OpenSSL vulnerability CVE-2014-0221

Security Advisory Description

The dtls1_get_message_fragment function in d1_both.c in OpenSSL before 0.9.8za, 1.0.0 before 1.0.0m, and 1.0.1 before 1.0.1h allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (recursion and client crash) via a DTLS hello message in an invalid DTLS handshake. (CVE-2014-0221)

Impact

An attacker may be able to exploit an OpenSSL Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) client by sending an invalid DTLS handshake. As a result, the client may experience a denial-of-service (DoS) attack.
