CVE-2014-3567: Input Validation

Published Oct 19, 2014
·
Updated

Memory leak in the tlsdecryptticket function in t1lib.c in OpenSSL before 0.9.8zc, 1.0.0 before 1.0.0o, and 1.0.1 before 1.0.1j allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted session ticket that triggers an integrity-check failure.
