The do_ssl3_write function in s3_pkt.c in OpenSSL 1.x through 1.0.1g, when SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS is enabled, does not properly manage a buffer pointer during certain recursive calls, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via vectors that trigger an alert condition.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This OpenSSL flaw can let a remote attacker crash an application under a specific configuration. It affects OpenSSL 1.x through 1.0.1g when SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS is enabled. The business impact is service disruption, not documented data theft or code execution in the provided sources. Exposure is most likely in TLS-enabled applications or appliances using OpenSSL 1.x through 1.0.1g with SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS enabled. The bundle lists vendor advisories, but does not provide complete affected product or version details. Treat this as a service-availability risk. It is not flagged as actively exploited in the provided sources, but exposed critical services using the affected OpenSSL configuration should be reviewed and remediated through vendor guidance. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems using OpenSSL 1.x through 1.0.1g.; Check whether SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS is enabled in affected applications.; Review OpenSSL and product-vendor advisories for fixed packages or configuration guidance..
