SSL: OpenSSL tls_get_message_body Function init_msg Structure Use After Free
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the tls_get_message_body function of OpenSSL. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to execute arbitrary code under the security context of the application using the vulnerable version of OpenSSL.
Extended Description
statem/statem.c in OpenSSL 1.1.0a does not consider memory-block movement after a realloc call, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted TLS session.
