CWE-401  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:6 openssl to version 0:1.0.1e-30.el6_6.5 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.

Memory leak in the dtls1_buffer_record function in d1_pkt.c in OpenSSL 1.0.0 before 1.0.0p and 1.0.1 before 1.0.1k allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by sending many duplicate records for the next epoch, leading to failure of replay detection.
