Detailed vulnerability description

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.

ssl/t1_lib.c in OpenSSL 0.9.8h through 0.9.8q and 1.0.0 through 1.0.0c allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash), and possibly obtain sensitive information in applications that use OpenSSL, via a malformed ClientHello handshake message that triggers an out-of-bounds memory access, aka "OCSP stapling vulnerability."
