CVE-2011-4619  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-399  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:6 openssl to version 0:1.0.0-20.el6_2.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openssl package and not the openssl package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The Server Gated Cryptography (SGC) implementation in OpenSSL before 0.9.8s and 1.x before 1.0.0f does not properly handle handshake restarts, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via unspecified vectors.
