NVD Description

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

Race condition in a certain Red Hat patch to the PRNG lock implementation in the ssleay_rand_bytes function in OpenSSL, as distributed in openssl-1.0.1e-25.el7 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7 and other products, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) by establishing many TLS sessions to a multithreaded server, leading to use of a negative value for a certain length field.
