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 RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

OpenSSL before 0.9.8q, and 1.0.x before 1.0.0c, when SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG is enabled, does not properly prevent modification of the ciphersuite in the session cache, which allows remote attackers to force the downgrade to an unintended cipher via vectors involving sniffing network traffic to discover a session identifier.
