- Summary
- [none]
- Details
-
The DTLS implementation in OpenSSL before 1.1.0 does not properly restrict the lifetime of queue entries associated with unused out-of-order messages, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by maintaining many crafted DTLS sessions simultaneously, related to d1lib.c, statemdtls.c, statemlib.c, and statemsrvr.c.
