CVE-2008-1678
Last modified
CVE-2008-1678 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Memory leak in the zlib_stateful_init function in crypto/comp/c_zlib.c in libssl in OpenSSL 0.9.8f through 0.9.8h allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via multiple calls, as demonstrated by initial SSL client handshakes to the Apache HTTP Server mod_ssl that specify a compression algorithm.. EPSS estimates a 5.29% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
