FKIE_CVE-2010-0740
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2010-03-26 18:30 - Updated: 2026-06-16 23:16
Severity
Summary
The ssl3_get_record function in ssl/s3_pkt.c in OpenSSL 0.9.8f through 0.9.8m allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a malformed record in a TLS connection that triggers a NULL pointer dereference, related to the minor version number. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
