Details
A vulnerability was found in OpenSSL up to 1.0.1e (Network Encryption Software). It has been classified as critical. Affected is the function ssl3_take_mac of the file ssl/s3_both.c of the component Handshake Handler. The manipulation as part of a TLS Record leads to a input validation vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-20. The product receives input or data, but it does
not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the
properties that are required to process the data safely and
correctly. This is going to have an impact on availability. CVE summarizes:
The ssl3_take_mac function in ssl/s3_both.c in OpenSSL 1.0.1 before 1.0.1f allows remote TLS servers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted Next Protocol Negotiation record in a TLS handshake.
The issue has been introduced in 03/14/2012. The weakness was presented 01/06/2014 by Anton Johansson as DSA-2837-1 openssl -- programming error as confirmed advisory (Website). The advisory is available at debian.org. The public release was coordinated in cooperation with the vendor. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2013-4353 since 06/12/2013. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploitation doesn't require any form of authentication. Technical details are known, but there is no available exploit.
The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 663 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $25k-$100k.
