The ssl3_get_record function in ssl/s3_pkt.c in OpenSSL 0.9.8f through
0.9.8m allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a
malformed record in a TLS connection that triggers a NULL pointer
dereference, related to the minor version number. NOTE: some of these
details are obtained from third party information.

jdstrand | according to upstream, if โshortโ is a 16-bit integer, this issue applies only to OpenSSL 0.9.8m, otherwise it affects 0.9.8f through 0.9.8m. Confirmed that on all releases of Ubuntu on all architectures that โshortโ is 2 bytes. (8.10/sparc and 10.04/armel could not be checked) |
