  <background>
    <p>OpenSSL is an Open Source toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer
      (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) as well as a general
      purpose cryptography library.
    </p>
  </background>
  <description>
    <p>It was discovered that OpenSSL allow malicious servers to send very
      large primes to a client during DH(E) based TLS handshakes.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>A remote attacker, by sending large prime to client during DH(E) TLS
      handshake, could possibly cause a Denial of Service condition.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>All OpenSSL users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-libs/openssl-1.0.2o-r6"
    </code>
