"According to its banner, the remote host is running OpenSSL version
1.1.0a. It is, therefore, affected by a remote code execution 
vulnerability in the read_state_machine() function in statem.c due to
improper handling of messages larger than 16k. An unauthenticated,
remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted message, to
cause a use-after-free error, resulting in a denial of service
condition or possibly the execution of arbitrary code.");
