Description

Issue summary: Some non-default TLS server configurations can cause unbounded<br /> memory growth when processing TLSv1.3 sessions<br /> <br /> Impact summary: An attacker may exploit certain server configurations to trigger<br /> unbounded memory growth that would lead to a Denial of Service<br /> <br /> This problem can occur in TLSv1.3 if the non-default SSL_OP_NO_TICKET option is<br /> being used (but not if early_data support is also configured and the default<br /> anti-replay protection is in use). In this case, under certain conditions, the<br /> session cache can get into an incorrect state and it will fail to flush properly<br /> as it fills. The session cache will continue to grow in an unbounded manner. A<br /> malicious client could deliberately create the scenario for this failure to<br /> force a Denial of Service. It may also happen by accident in normal operation.<br /> <br /> This issue only affects TLS servers supporting TLSv1.3. It does not affect TLS<br /> clients.<br /> <br /> The FIPS modules in 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0 are not affected by this issue. OpenSSL<br /> 1.0.2 is also not affected by this issue.
