How to fix?

Upgrade Amazon-Linux:2018.03 openssl-debuginfo to version 1:1.0.1k-1.82.amzn1 or higher.
This issue was patched in ALAS-2015-469.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openssl-debuginfo package and not the openssl-debuginfo package as distributed by Amazon-Linux. See How to fix? for Amazon-Linux:2018.03 relevant fixed versions and status.

The ssl23_get_client_hello function in s23_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.8zc, 1.0.0o, and 1.0.1j does not properly handle attempts to use unsupported protocols, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) via an unexpected handshake, as demonstrated by an SSLv3 handshake to a no-ssl3 application with certain error handling. NOTE: this issue became relevant after the CVE-2014-3568 fix.
