CVE-2014-3506 describes a denial-of-service vulnerability in OpenSSL versions 0.9.8 before 0.9.8zb, 1.0.0 before 1.0.0n, and 1.0.1 before 1.0.1i. Remote attackers can exploit this flaw by sending crafted DTLS handshake messages, leading to excessive memory allocation and resource exhaustion. With a CVSS score of 5.0 and an AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P vector, this vulnerability is easily exploitable over the network with low complexity, resulting in a partial denial of service. Despite its high FAUCET Risk Score of 96/100 and above-average EPSS score, there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
