CVE-2014-0198 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade RHEL:7 openssl to version 1:1.0.1e-34.el7_0.3 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2014:0679.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openssl package and not the openssl package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.
The do_ssl3_write function in s3_pkt.c in OpenSSL 1.x through 1.0.1g, when SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS is enabled, does not properly manage a buffer pointer during certain recursive calls, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via vectors that trigger an alert condition.
