1) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-1789)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the X509_cmp_time function in crypto/x509/x509_vfy.c. A remote attacker can trigger memory corruption and cause a denial of service condition on the target system.


2) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-1791)

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

A local user can exploit the race and cause a denial of service (double free and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by providing a NewSessionTicket during an attempt to reuse a ticket that had been obtained earlier.


3) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-1788)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within the application in the BN_GF2m_mod_inv function in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
