SSL: OpenSSL Invalid Session Ticket Denial of Service
A denial-of-service vulnerability exists in OpenSSL. It is due to a memory leak when OpenSSL processes invalid session tickets to verify their integrity. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can send crafted handshake messages to cause memory leaks, exhaust system memory and create a denial of service condition on an application using the vulnerable library.
