This vulnerability applies when DTLS functionality is enabled. No Buffalo NAS products have enabled the DTLS function of OpenSSL, and so no Buffalo Sytems are affected by this vulnerability.
| Vulnerability ID | Vulnerability Overview |
|---|---|
| CVE-2016-2179 | The DTLS implementation in OpenSSL before 1.1.0 does not properly restrict the lifetime of queue entries associated with unused out-of-order messages, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by maintaining many crafted DTLS sessions simultaneously, related to d1_lib.c, statem_dtls.c, statem_lib.c, and statem_srvr.c. |
