(CVE-2014-3513) It was discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled memory when verifying the integrity of a session ticket. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenSSL to consume resources, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2014-3567) In addition, this update introduces support for the TLS Fallback Signaling Cipher Suite Value (TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV).
