NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openssl package and not the openssl package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.
In OpenSSL 1.1.0 before 1.1.0d, if a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial of Service attack.
