OpenSSL Other Vulnerability - CVE-2002-1568

Medium
Reference: CVE-2002-1568
NVD Link: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2002-1568
Title: OpenSSL Other Vulnerability
Overview:

OpenSSL 0.9.6e uses assertions when detecting buffer overflow attacks instead of less severe mechanisms which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via certain messages that cause OpenSSL to abort from a failed assertion as demonstrated using SSLv2 CLIENT_MASTER_KEY messages which are not properly handled in s2_srvr.c.
