CVE-2017-3733  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-20  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable openssl to version 1.1.0e-1 or higher.

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:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac extension is negotiated where it was not in the original handshake (or vice-versa) then this can cause OpenSSL 1.1.0 before 1.1.0e to crash (dependent on ciphersuite). Both clients and servers are affected.
