SSL: OpenSSL chacha20_poly1305_cipher Denial of Service
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in OpenSSL. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted packet to the target application. Successful exploitation results in a denial of service condition.
Extended Description
In OpenSSL 1.1.0 before 1.1.0c, TLS connections using *-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites are susceptible to a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This can result in an OpenSSL crash. This issue is not considered to be exploitable beyond a DoS.
