Summary
generated automatically from NVD dataOpenSSL 0.9.6d and earlier, and 0.9.7-beta2 and earlier, mishandles the ASCII representation of integers on 64 bit platforms. An attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code. The entry lists affected versions of OpenSSL, several Oracle products (Application Server, HTTP Server, Corporate Time Outlook Connector) and Apple Mac OS X, and carries a CVSS v2.0 score of 7.5 (HIGH).
