This would allow an attacker to remotely cause a denial of service. For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 5.6.1-6+deb8u3. For the testing (stretch) and unstable (sid) distributions, this problem has been fixed in version 5.6.4-5. We recommend that you upgrade your libcrypto++ packages.
