Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.

1) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-1730)

CWE-ID: CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper resource management while cleaning the AES-CTR ciphers when closing the connection. A remote attacker can initiate a connection to the client and server that supports AES-CTR ciphers and close the connection before ciphers are initialized, triggering a denial of service condition (service crash). The vulnerability affects both client and server implementations.

Remediation

Install update from vendor's website.
