NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openssl098 package and not the openssl098 package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The ssl3_get_client_key_exchange function in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 1.0.2 before 1.0.2a, when client authentication and an ephemeral Diffie-Hellman ciphersuite are enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a ClientKeyExchange message with a length of zero.
