Description

A memory leak flaw was found in the way an OpenSSL handled failed session ticket integrity checks. A remote attacker could exhaust all available memory of an SSL/TLS or DTLS server by sending a large number of invalid session tickets to that server.

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.
