| Detailed Description |
According to its banner, the remote web server is running a version of OpenSSL 0.9.8 earlier than 0.9.8x. As such, the OpenSSL library itself is reportedly affected by a denial of service vulnerability.
An integer underflow error exists in the file 'ssl/d1_enc.c' in the function 'dtls1_enc'. When in CBC mode, TLS/DTLS record length values and explicit initialization vector length values related to TLS/DTLS packets are not handled properly, which can lead to memory corruption and application crashes.
