openssl: Invalid TLS/SSL session tickets could cause memory leak leading to server crash

Published Oct 19, 2014

Description

Memory leak in the tls_decrypt_ticket function in t1_lib.c in OpenSSL before 0.9.8zc, 1.0.0 before 1.0.0o, and 1.0.1 before 1.0.1j allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted session ticket that triggers an integrity-check failure.

Affected products

Remediation

Red Hat statement

This issue does not affect the version of openssl shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5; Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Server 5 and 6; and Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Web Server 1 and 2 because openssl-0.9.8e does not include support for session tickets.
