CWE-310  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Oracle:6 openssl to version 0:1.0.1e-16.el6_5.4 or higher.
This issue was patched in ELSA-2014-0015.

NVD Description

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

The DTLS retransmission implementation in OpenSSL 1.0.0 before 1.0.0l and 1.0.1 before 1.0.1f does not properly maintain data structures for digest and encryption contexts, which might allow man-in-the-middle attackers to trigger the use of a different context and cause a denial of service (application crash) by interfering with packet delivery, related to ssl/d1_both.c and ssl/t1_enc.c.
