== NISCC/224012/3 [OpenSSL 0.9.6] CAN-2004-0081 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0081Testing performed by the OpenSSL group using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool uncovered a bug in older versions of OpenSSL 0.9.6 that can lead to a Denial of Service attack (infinite loop). This issue was traced to a fix that was added to OpenSSL 0.9.6d some time ago. This issue will affect vendors that ship older versions of OpenSSL with backported security patches.
