## Description

The dtls1\_clear\_queues function in ssl/d1\_lib.c in OpenSSL before 0.9.8za,
1.0.0 before 1.0.0m, and 1.0.1 before 1.0.1h frees data structures without
considering that application data can arrive between a ChangeCipherSpec
message and a Finished message, which allows remote DTLS peers to cause a
denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly
have unspecified other impact via unexpected application data.
