Description Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2015-06-05 10:20:25 UTC 
The following was reported by OpenSSL upstream:

If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to a double free of the ticket data.

This issue affects all current OpenSSL versions: 1.0.2, 1.0.1, 1.0.0 and 0.9.8.

OpenSSL 1.0.2 users should upgrade to 1.0.2b
OpenSSL 1.0.1 users should upgrade to 1.0.1n
OpenSSL 1.0.0 users should upgrade to 1.0.0s
OpenSSL 0.9.8 users should upgrade to 0.9.8zg

This issue was discovered by Emilia Käsper of the OpenSSL development team. The fix was developed by Matt Caswell of the OpenSSL development team.
