    Matt Caswell discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled certain ASN.1 object identifiers. A remote
    attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenSSL to consume resources, resulting in a denial of
    service.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.
