The SSLv2 implementation in OpenSSL before 0.9.8zf, 1.0.0 before 1.0.0r, 1.0.1 before 1.0.1m, and 1.0.2 before 1.0.2a allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (s2_lib.c assertion failure and daemon exit) via a crafted CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2015-0293 is a remote denial-of-service flaw in older OpenSSL SSLv2 handling. A specially crafted SSLv2 message can crash the affected daemon. The business risk is service interruption on legacy systems, especially internet-facing or high-availability services still using vulnerable OpenSSL builds. Exposure is most likely in legacy servers, appliances, or bundled applications running the listed vulnerable OpenSSL versions. Multiple vendor advisories suggest downstream package impact, but the bundle does not identify specific affected products beyond OpenSSL version ranges. Treat this as a legacy exposure cleanup and availability risk. Prioritize internet-facing, customer-facing, and critical internal services first. It is not presented as actively exploited in the provided sources, but unpatched systems can still be remotely crashed. Mitigation focus: Upgrade OpenSSL beyond the fixed version for the installed branch.; Apply relevant vendor security updates for downstream packages or appliances.; Disable SSLv2 where vendor-supported and operationally safe..
