CVE-2014-0198

The do_ssl3_write function in s3_pkt.c in OpenSSL 1.x through 1.0.1g, when SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS is enabled, does not properly manage a buffer pointer during certain recursive calls, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via vectors that trigger an alert condition.

La función do_ssl3_write en s3_pkt.c en OpenSSL 1.x hasta 1.0.1g, cuando SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS está habilitado, no maneja debidamente un puntero de buffer durante ciertas llamadas recursivas, lo que permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (referencia a puntero nulo y caída de aplicación) a través de vectores que provocan una condición de alerta.
