OpenSSL Heartbleed Vulnerability (CVE-2014-0160)
Severity: CRITICAL
CVE Identifier: CVE-2014-0160
Advisory Date: APR 09, 2014
DESCRIPTION
OpenSSL's Heartbeat extension was found to have this vulnerability, which, when exploited, can allow cybercriminals to steal critical information from a server. With OpenSSL being utilized by many websites and applications, the potential victim count of this vulnerability may be very large. Exploitation of this vulnerability may also leave no trace, which would make victim counts and damage estimates difficult to create.
