The vulnerability of the VLC Media Player software allows a malicious attacker to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and accessibility of protected information.

Overfilling the buffer in the readserverhello function in lib/gnutlshandshake.c in GnuTLS allows remote servers to trigger a service failure a memory-related error or execute arbitrary code using the long session identifier in the ServerHello message...

The vulnerability of the OpenSSL library, which allows attackers to carry out attacks aimed at reducing the security of encryption algorithms

The vulnerability of the OpenSSL library is related to errors in cryptographic transformations. Exploiting this vulnerability allows a malicious actor, operating remotely and having access to the data transmission channel, to carry out attacks aimed at reducing the resilience of encryption...

TLS protocol man-in-the-middle attack vulnerability

TLS Transport Layer Security is a set of protocols used to provide confidentiality and data integrity between two communicating applications. A security vulnerability exists in the TLS protocol version 1.2 and earlier. When the server enabled the DHEEXPORT cipher suite, the program failed to...

CVE-2015-4000

The TLS protocol 1.2 and earlier, when a DHEEXPORT ciphersuite is enabled on a server but not on a client, does not properly convey a DHEEXPORT choice, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to conduct cipher-downgrade attacks by rewriting a ClientHello with DHE replaced by DHEEXPORT and then...

OpenSSL TLS Missing SRP Extension Denial of Service (CVE-2014-5139)

A denial of service vulnerability has been reported in OpenSSL. The vulnerability is due to an issue while parsing Server Hello messages with a specific cipher suite and extension. A remote unauthenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted packet to a target...

openssl: DoS when sending invalid DTLS handshake

A denial of service flaw was found in the way OpenSSL handled certain DTLS ServerHello requests. A specially crafted DTLS handshake packet could cause a DTLS client using OpenSSL to crash...

openssl: race condition in ssl_parse_serverhello_tlsext

A race condition was found in the way OpenSSL handled ServerHello messages with an included Supported EC Point Format extension. A malicious server could possibly use this flaw to cause a multi-threaded TLS/SSL client using OpenSSL to write into freed memory, causing the client to crash or execut...

DEBIAN-CVE-2014-5139

The sslsetclientdisabled function in t1lib.c in OpenSSL 1.0.1 before 1.0.1i allows remote SSL servers to cause a denial of service NULL pointer dereference and client application crash via a ServerHello message that includes an SRP ciphersuite without the required negotiation of that ciphersuite...

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS : OpenSSL vulnerabilities (USN-2308-1)

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2308-1 advisory. Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled certain DTLS packets. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause OpenSSL ...

UBUNTU-CVE-2014-3509

Race condition in the sslparseserverhellotlsext function in t1lib.c in OpenSSL 1.0.0 before 1.0.0n and 1.0.1 before 1.0.1i, when multithreading and session resumption are used, allows remote SSL servers to cause a denial of service memory overwrite and client application crash or possibly have...

openssl: DoS when sending invalid DTLS handshake

A denial of service flaw was found in the way OpenSSL handled certain DTLS ServerHello requests. A specially crafted DTLS handshake packet could cause a DTLS client using OpenSSL to crash...

Vulnerability in OpenSSL - Crash with SRP ciphersuite in Server Hello message

A crash was found affecting SRP ciphersuites used in a Server Hello message. The issue affects OpenSSL clients and allows a malicious server to crash the client with a null pointer dereference read by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not properly negotiated with the client. This...

gnutls: insufficient session id length check in _gnutls_read_server_hello (GNUTLS-SA-2014-3)

A flaw was found in the way GnuTLS parsed session IDs from ServerHello messages of the TLS/SSL handshake. A malicious server could use this flaw to send an excessively long session ID value, which would trigger a buffer overflow in a connecting TLS/SSL client application using GnuTLS, causing the...
