Buffer overflow in the ssl_read_record function in ssl_tls.c in PolarSSL before 1.1.8, when using TLS 1.1, might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long packet.
AnalysisAI
Buffer overflow in the ssl_read_record function in ssl_tls.c in PolarSSL before 1.1.8, when using TLS 1.1, might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long packet. Rated medium severity (CVSS 6.8), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability is classified as Buffer Overflow (CWE-119), which allows attackers to corrupt memory to execute arbitrary code or crash the application. Buffer overflow in the ssl_read_record function in ssl_tls.c in PolarSSL before 1.1.8, when using TLS 1.1, might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long packet. Affected products include: Polarssl. Version information: before 1.1.8.
RemediationAI
A vendor patch is available. Apply the latest security update as soon as possible. Use memory-safe languages or bounds-checking. Enable ASLR, DEP/NX, stack canaries. Use safe string functions.
