FreeBSD : OpenSSL remote denial of service vulnerability (012809ce-83f3-11ea-92ab-00163e433440)

high Nessus Plugin ID 135880

Language:

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Server or client applications that call the SSL_check_chain() function during or after a TLS 1.3 handshake may crash due to a NULL pointer dereference as a result of incorrect handling of the 'signature_algorithms_cert' TLS extension. The crash occurs if an invalid or unrecognized signature algorithm is received from the peer.
Impact : A malicious peer could exploit the NULL pointer dereference crash, causing a denial of service attack.

Solution

Update the affected package.
