CVE-2014-0224  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-310  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade OpenSSL to version 1.0.108 or higher.

Overview

OpenSSL is a SSL/TLS and Crypto toolkit. Deprecated in Mac OS and gone in iOS, this spec gives your project non-deprecated OpenSSL support.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Cryptographic Issues. OpenSSL is vulnerable to man in the middle (MitM) attacks. These attacks are possible because an attacker can force OpenSSL to use a zero-length master key. This allows attackers to hijack sessions and obtain sensitive information. This is also known as the "CCS Injection".
