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

The asn1_d2i_read_bio function in crypto/asn1/a_d2i_fp.c in the ASN.1 BIO implementation in OpenSSL before 1.0.1t and 1.0.2 before 1.0.2h allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a short invalid encoding.
