Record PolarSSL < 1.2.8 infinite loop denial of service.
Note: the port has not yet been upgraded, and the fix then needs to be merged
to the 9.2 ports branch before release.

As a result it is possible to craft a Certificate message that includes a PEM encoded certificate in the Certificate message that triggers the infinite loop.</p> + </blockquote> + </body> + </description> + <references> + <url>https://polarssl.org/tech-updates/security-advisories/polarssl-security-advisory-2013-03</url> + </references> + <dates> + <discovery>2013-06-21</discovery> + <entry>2013-08-13</entry> + </dates> + </vuln> + <vuln vid="e21c7c7a-0116-11e3-9e83-3c970e169bc2"> <topic>samba -- denial of service vulnerability</topic> <affects> |
