  OpenSSL ssl3_read_bytes Function DoS

Category: WEB-TLS      

It was found that function "ssl3_read_bytes" in ssl/s3_pkt.c might lead to higher CPU usage due to improper handling of warning packets. An attacker could repeat the undefined plaintext warning packets of "SSL3_AL_WARNING" during the handshake, which will cause a 100% CPU usage on the server.
