This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against OpenSSL DTLS. A successful attack can result in a denial-of-service condition.
OpenSSL is prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability caused by a NULL-pointer dereference condition. An attacker can exploit this issue to crash the affected application, denying service to legitimate users. Versions prior to OpenSSL 0.9.8i are vulnerable.
