1) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-0800)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to decrypt sensitive information.The vulnerability exists due to usage of weak SSLv2 protocol, which requires to send a ServerVerify message before establishing that a client possesses certain plaintext RSA data. A remote attacker can decrypt TLS ciphertext data by leveraging a Bleichenbacher RSA padding oracle.
The vulnerability is dubbed "DROWN" attack.
2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-0797)
The vulnerability allows remote attackers to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption or NULL pointer dereference) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a long digit string that is mishandled by the (1) BN_dec2bn or (2) BN_hex2bn function, related to crypto/bn/bn.h and crypto/bn/bn_print.c.
