CVE-2013-6450
Status: ModifiedMedium (5.8)—
The DTLS retransmission implementation in OpenSSL 1.0.0 before 1.0.0l and 1.0.1 before 1.0.1f does not properly maintain data structures for digest and encryption contexts, which might allow man-in-the-middle attackers to trigger the use of a different context and cause a denial of service (application crash) by interfering with packet delivery, related to ssl/d1_both.c and ssl/t1_enc.c.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:P
- Base score: 5.8
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 15%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 97
- Score date: 10/7/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
