CVE-2015-0293 describes a denial-of-service vulnerability in OpenSSL's SSLv2 implementation, affecting versions prior to 0.9.8zf, 1.0.0r, 1.0.1m, and 1.0.2a. An unauthenticated remote attacker can trigger an assertion failure and daemon exit by sending a specially crafted CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message. With a CVSS score of 5.0, this vulnerability is of medium severity, requiring no authentication and having a low attack complexity, leading to a partial availability impact. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or inclusion in the KEV catalog, though it has received some community discussion and media coverage.
