Last modified

CVE-2014-0198 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The do_ssl3_write function in s3_pkt.c in OpenSSL 1.x through 1.0.1g, when SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS is enabled, does not properly manage a buffer pointer during certain recursive calls, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via vectors that trigger an alert condition.. EPSS estimates a 43.83% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
