CVE-2016-6302

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions OpenSSL versions prior to 1.1.0

Description The issue is related to the tls decrypt ticket function in ssl/t1 lib.c, which does not properly validate the ticket length, considering the HMAC size. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by providing a ticket that is too short. The vulnerability can be exploited by attempting to use a malformed ticket, leading to a denial of service.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.1.0, update to version 1.1.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the tls decrypt ticket function until a patch is available.
