CVE-2009-1377: OpenSSL

Medium severity, CVSS 5.0. EPSS: 11.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The dtls1_buffer_record function in ssl/d1_pkt.c in OpenSSL 0.9.8k and earlier 0.9.8 versions allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large series of "future epoch" DTLS records that are buffered in a queue, aka "DTLS record buffer limitation bug."

Affected products

• OpenSSL OpenSSL: from 0.9.8, before 0.9.8m (fixed in 0.9.8m)
