Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to NULL Pointer Dereference in the OCSP response validation process during outbound TLS handshakes. An attacker can cause abnormal termination of the process by sending a malformed OCSP response from a remote peer. This is only exploitable if the remote peer holds a certificate issued by the cluster's trusted certificate authority or if the connection traverses an untrusted network path.
