Descriptions

The dtls1_clear_queues function in ssl/d1_lib.c in OpenSSL before 0.9.8za, 1.0.0 before 1.0.0m, and 1.0.1 before 1.0.1h frees data structures without considering that application data can arrive between a ChangeCipherSpec message and a Finished message, which allows remote DTLS peers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via unexpected application data.

La función dtls1_clear_queues en ssl/d1_lib.c en OpenSSL anterior a 0.9.8za, 1.0.0 anterior a 1.0.0m, y 1.0.1 anterior a 1.0.1h libera estructuras de datos sin considerar que los datos de la aplicación puedan llegar entre un mensaje ChangeCipherSpec y un mensaje Finished, lo que permite a pares remotos de DTLS causar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria y caída de aplicación) o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado a través de datos de la aplicación no esperados.

An invalid-free flaw was found in the way OpenSSL handled certain DTLS handshake messages. A malicious DTLS client or server could send a specially crafted message to the peer, which could cause the application to crash or potentially result in arbitrary code execution.
