OpenSSL contains a flaw that may lead to an unauthorized information disclosure. The issue is triggered when the Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) implementation will only perform a MAC check if certain padding is valid. This may allow a remote attacker to more easily gain access to potentially sensitive data via a padding oracle attack.
