SSL: OpenSSL Anonymous ECDH Denial of Service
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against OpenSSL. The vulnerability is due to a NULL pointer dereference in processing handshake messages using anonymous ECDH ciphersuites. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending specially crafted messages to a target. Successful exploitation could lead to a denial of service condition.
