Descriptions

OpenSSL 0.9.6e uses assertions when detecting buffer overflow attacks instead of less severe mechanisms, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via certain messages that cause OpenSSL to abort from a failed assertion, as demonstrated using SSLv2 CLIENT_MASTER_KEY messages, which are not properly handled in s2_srvr.c.

OpenSSL 0.96e usa aserciones cuando detecta ataques de desbordamineto de búfer en vez de mencanismos menos severos,lo que permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (caída) mediante ciertos mensajes que hacen que OpenSSL aborte de una aserción fallida, como se ha demostrado usando mensajes SSLv2 CLIENT_MASTER_KEY, que no son manejados adecuadamente en s2_srvr.c
