Description
Grid Community Toolkit before 6.2.20261111 (globus-gss-assist before 12.9) contains a heap out-of-bounds write in globus_gss_assist_token_get_fd() triggered by SSLv2 record lengths below 3. Remote unauthenticated clients can send a crafted GSI handshake record to services like globus-gatekeeper and myproxy to corrupt heap memory and crash the service.
