Vulnerability Details

CVEID:CVE-2021-23839
**DESCRIPTION:**OpenSSL could provide weaker than expected security, caused by incorrect SSLv2 rollback protection that allows for the inversion of the logic during a padding check. If the server is configured for SSLv2 support at compile time, configured for SSLv2 support at runtime or configured for SSLv2 ciphersuites, it will accept a connection if a version rollback attack has occurred and erroneously reject a connection if a normal SSLv2 connection attempt is made.
CVSS Base score: 5.9

CVEID:CVE-2021-23840
**DESCRIPTION:**OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an integer overflow in CipherUpdate. By sending an overly long argument, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the application to crash.
