CVE-2002-1568
Last modified
CVE-2002-1568 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. OpenSSL 0.9.6e uses assertions when detecting buffer overflow attacks instead of less severe mechanisms, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via certain messages that cause OpenSSL to abort from a failed assertion, as demonstrated using SSLv2 CLIENT_MASTER_KEY messages, which are not properly handled in s2_srvr.c.. EPSS estimates a 2.73% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
