medium Nessus Plugin ID 78163

Language:

Synopsis

The remote device is missing a vendor-supplied security patch.

Description

The DTLS retransmission implementation in OpenSSL 1.0.0 before 1.0.0l and 1.0.1 before 1.0.1f does not properly maintain data structures for digest and encryption contexts, which might allow man-in-the-middle attackers to trigger the use of a different context and cause a denial of service (application crash) by interfering with packet delivery, related to ssl/d1_both.c and ssl/t1_enc.c. (CVE-2013-6450)

Solution

Upgrade to one of the non-vulnerable versions listed in the F5 Solution K15158.
