A memory leak flaw was found in the way an OpenSSL handled failed session ticket integrity checks. A remote attacker could exhaust all available memory of an SSL/TLS or DTLS server by sending a large number of invalid session tickets to that server.

Description Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2014-10-15 05:35:43 EDT
OpenSSL upstream reported the following security flaw:

When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service attack.

OpenSSL 1.0.1 users should upgrade to 1.0.1j.
OpenSSL 1.0.0 users should upgrade to 1.0.0o.
OpenSSL 0.9.8 users should upgrade to 0.9.8zc.

This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 8th October 2014.

The fix was developed by Stephen Henson of the OpenSSL core team.

Comment 3 Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2014-10-15 10:24:25 EDT
Statement:

This issue does not affect the version of openssl shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5; Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Server 5 and 6; and Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Web Server 1 and 2 because openssl-0.9.8e does not include support for session tickets.

IssueDescription:

A memory leak flaw was found in the way an OpenSSL handled failed session ticket integrity checks. A remote attacker could exhaust all available memory of an SSL/TLS or DTLS server by sending a large number of invalid session tickets to that server.
