CVE-2016-0798

A memory leak flaw was found in the way OpenSSL performed SRP user database look-ups using the SRP_VBASE_get_by_user() function. A remote attacker connecting to certain SRP servers with an invalid user name could leak approximately 300 bytes of the server's memory per connection.

This issue does not affect the version of OpenSSL shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, 6 and 7, since these packages are compiled without SRP support.
