Description Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2015-12-07 06:09:08 UTC
The following was reported by OpenSSL upstream:

If a client receives a ServerKeyExchange for an anonymous DH ciphersuite with the value of p set to 0 then a seg fault can occur leading to a possible denial of service attack.

This issue affects OpenSSL version 1.0.2.

OpenSSL 1.0.2 users should upgrade to 1.0.2e

This issue was reported to OpenSSL on August 3 2015 by Guy Leaver (Cisco). The fix was developed by Matt Caswell of the OpenSSL development team.

Comment 1 Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2015-12-07 06:12:27 UTC
Statement:

This issue does not affect the version of OpenSSL as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, 6 and 7.
