SSL: OpenSSL DHE Client Key Exchange Denial of Service

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against OpenSSL. A successful exploit can lead to denial of service in the context of the application.

Extended Description

The ssl3_get_client_key_exchange function in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 1.0.2 before 1.0.2a, when client authentication and an ephemeral Diffie-Hellman ciphersuite are enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a ClientKeyExchange message with a length of zero.
