Descriptions

The ssl23_get_client_hello function in s23_srvr.c in OpenSSL 1.0.1 before 1.0.1i allows man-in-the-middle attackers to force the use of TLS 1.0 by triggering ClientHello message fragmentation in communication between a client and server that both support later TLS versions, related to a "protocol downgrade" issue.

La función ssl23_get_client_hello en s23_srvr.c en OpenSSL 1.0.1 anterior a 1.0.1i permite a atacantes man-in-the-middle forzar el uso de TLS 1.0 mediante la provocación de la fragmentación de mensajes ClientHello comunicaciones entre un cliente y el servidor que ambos soportan versiones TLS posteriores, relacionado con un problema de 'degradación de protocolo'.

A flaw was found in the way OpenSSL handled fragmented handshake packets. A man-in-the-middle attacker could use this flaw to force a TLS/SSL server using OpenSSL to use TLS 1.0, even if both the client and the server supported newer protocol versions.
