Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 6 vulnerabilities.
1) Race condition
EUVDB-ID: #VU11535
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 4.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2010-5298
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack or modify encrypted connection.
The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in the ssl3_read_bytes() function in OpenSSL. A remote attacker can inject data across sessions or cause a denial of service
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS is enabled.

2) Buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU11533
Risk: High
CVSSv4.0: 9.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:A/U:Amber]
CVE-ID: CVE-2014-0195
CWE-ID:
CWE-119 - Memory corruption
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in OpenSSL when processing DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS client or server. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to vulnerable application and cause the server to crash or execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that server support DTLS.
