Developers of OpenSSL has released their new version 1.0.0g and 0.9.8t of OpenSSL to address a denial of service issue introduced by one of the six fixes included in the version they released earlier this month. The problem was created by the fix for a critical vulnerability in the CBC ("Cipher block chaining") encryption mode which enabled plaintext recovery of OpenSSL's implementation of DTLS (Datagram TLS). Accordingly, the advisory notes that the DoS flaw only affects users using DTLS applications that use OpenSSL 1.0.0f and 0.9.8s. The developers credit Antonio Martin of Cisco Systems for discovering the bug and preparing the fix for it.
Brief About OpenSSL:-
The OpenSSL Project is a collaborative effort to develop a robust, commercial-grade, full-featured, and Open Source toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) protocols as well as a full-strength general purpose cryptography library. The project is managed by a worldwide community of volunteers that use the Internet to communicate, plan, and develop the OpenSSL toolkit and its related documentation.
OpenSSL is based on the excellent SSLeay library developed by Eric A. Young and Tim J. Hudson. The OpenSSL toolkit is licensed under an Apache-style licence, which basically means that you are free to get and use it for commercial and non-commercial purposes subject to some simple license conditions.
