Summary
OpenSSL is prone to security-bypass vulnerability. This NVT has been merged into the NVT 'OpenSSL CCS Man in the Middle Security Bypass Vulnerability' (OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.105042).
Insight
Insight
OpenSSL does not properly restrict processing of ChangeCipherSpec messages, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to trigger use of a zero-length master key in certain OpenSSL-to-OpenSSL communications, and consequently hijack sessions or obtain sensitive information, via a crafted TLS handshake, aka the 'CCS Injection' vulnerability.
Affected Software
Affected Software
OpenSSL before 0.9.8za, 1.0.0 before 1.0.0m and 1.0.1 before 1.0.1h
