CVE-2009-1377 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The dtls1_buffer_record function in ssl/d1_pkt.c in OpenSSL 0.9.8k and earlier 0.9.8 versions allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large series of "future epoch" DTLS records that are buffered in a queue, aka "DTLS record buffer limitation bug.". EPSS estimates a 11.27% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
