Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security
impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base
score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each
vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.
OpenSSL is a toolkit that implements the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
and Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols, as well as a
full-strength general-purpose cryptography library.
Security Fix(es) :
* A memory leak flaw was found in the way OpenSSL handled TLS status
request extension data during session renegotiation. A remote attacker
could cause a TLS server using OpenSSL to consume an excessive amount
of memory and, possibly, exit unexpectedly after exhausting all
available memory, if it enabled OCSP stapling support. (CVE-2016-6304)
Red Hat would like to thank the OpenSSL project for reporting this
issue. Upstream acknowledges Shi Lei (Gear Team of Qihoo 360 Inc.) as
the original reporter.
