Id	Description
4317	OpenSSL SSL/TLS Handshake Null Pointer DoS OpenSSL contains a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service. The issue is triggered when a null-pointer assignment in the do_change_cipher_spec() function is accessed via a carefully crafted SSL/TLS handshake. This might cause some applications that depend on OpenSSL to crash or otherwise lead to a denial of service, and will result in loss of availability for OpenSSL or the application that is depending on it.
