NVD Description

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 Anti-Replay feature in the DTLS implementation in OpenSSL before 1.1.0 mishandles early use of a new epoch number in conjunction with a large sequence number, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (false-positive packet drops) via spoofed DTLS records, related to rec_layer_d1.c and ssl3_record.c.
