The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202012-13 (OpenSSL: Denial of service)

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in OpenSSL.

Impact :

A remote attacker, able to control the arguments of the GENERAL_NAME_cmp       function in an application linked against OpenSSL, could possibly cause a       Denial of Service condition.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
