The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200612-11 (AMD64 x86 emulation base libraries: OpenSSL multiple vulnerabilities)
Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, both of the Google Security Team, discovered that the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function contains a buffer overflow vulnerability, and that the SSLv2 client code contains a flaw leading to a crash. Additionally, Dr. Stephen N. Henson found that the ASN.1 handler contains two Denial of Service vulnerabilities: while parsing an invalid ASN.1 structure and while handling certain types of public key.
Impact :
An attacker could trigger the buffer overflow by sending a malicious suite of ciphers to an application using the vulnerable function, and thus execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user running the application. An attacker could also consume CPU and/or memory by exploiting the Denial of Service vulnerabilities. Finally, a malicious server could crash a SSLv2 client through the SSLv2 vulnerability.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time.
