According to its banner, the remote host is running a version of OpenSSL 0.9.8 prior to 0.9.8zh. It is, therefore, affected by a flaw in the ASN1_TFLG_COMBINE implementation in file tasn_dec.c related to handling malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structures. A remote attacker can exploit this to cause a memory leak by triggering a decoding failure in a PKCS#7 or CMS application, resulting in a denial of service.
