Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in OpenSSL, which could be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service.
The first issue is caused due to DTLS records with future epochs being buffered without limitation, which could allow attackers to exhaust all available memory resources, creating a denial of service condition.
The second vulnerability is caused by an error in the "dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message()" when handling DTLS messages, which could allow attackers to exhaust all available memory resources, creating a denial of service condition.
The third issue is caused by an error in the "dtls1_retrieve_buffered_fragment()" function when processing certain DTLS data, which could be exploited to crash a vulnerable client.
