Rewterz Threat Advisory – CVE-2021-23839 – OpenSSL SSLv2 rollback protection weak security

Severity

Medium

Analysis Summary

CVE-2021-23839

OpenSSL could provide weaker than expected security, caused by incorrect SSLv2 rollback protection that allows for the inversion of the logic during a padding check. If the server is configured for SSLv2 support at compile time, configured for SSLv2 support at runtime or configured for SSLv2 ciphersuites, it will accept a connection if a version rollback attack has occurred and erroneously reject a connection if a normal SSLv2 connection attempt is made.
