Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Read. OpenSSL 0.9.8s and 1.0.0f does not properly support DTLS applications, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via unspecified vectors related to an out-of-bounds read.

Note:

This vulnerability exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2011-4108.
