Vulnerability identifier: #VU41413
Vulnerability risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 2.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CWE-ID:
CWE-20
Exploitation vector: Network
Exploit availability: No
Vulnerable software:
OpenSSL

Encryption software
Vendor: OpenSSL Software Foundation
Description
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to manipulate data.
The ssl23_get_client_hello function in s23_srvr.c in OpenSSL 1.0.1 before 1.0.1i allows man-in-the-middle attackers to force the use of TLS 1.0 by triggering ClientHello message fragmentation in communication between a client and server that both support later TLS versions, related to a "protocol downgrade" issue.
Mitigation
Install update from vendor's website.
Vulnerable software versions
OpenSSL: 1.0.0k - 1.0.0, 1.0.1c - 1.0.1
