Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information and cause denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to a parsing error within DTLS SRTP extension in OpenSSL. A remote attacker can send a carefully crafted handshake message and free up to 64k of memory or cause denial of service conditions.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to obtain potentially sensitive data, stored in system memory, or cause the affected service to fail.
