SSL: OpenSSL DTLS Retransmission Denial of Service

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against OpenSSL DTLS. A successful attack can result in a denial-of-service condition.

Extended Description

The DTLS retransmission implementation in OpenSSL 1.0.0 before 1.0.0l and 1.0.1 before 1.0.1f does not properly maintain data structures for digest and encryption contexts, which might allow man-in-the-middle attackers to trigger the use of a different context and cause a denial of service (application crash) by interfering with packet delivery, related to ssl/d1_both.c and ssl/t1_enc.c.
