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