CVE-2016-6302  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-20  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:19.04 openssl to version 1.0.2g-1ubuntu9 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 Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:19.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

The tls_decrypt_ticket function in ssl/t1_lib.c in OpenSSL before 1.1.0 does not consider the HMAC size during validation of the ticket length, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a ticket that is too short.
