Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in OpenSSL when processing DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS client or server. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to vulnerable application and cause the server to crash or execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that server support DTLS.
