>+	  <p>During TLS 1.2 exchanges, handshake hashes are generated which
>+	     point to a message buffer. This saved data is used for later
>+	     messages but in some cases, the handshake transcript can
>+	     exceed the space available in the current buffer, causing the
>+	     allocation of a new buffer. This leaves a pointer pointing to
>+	     the old, freed buffer, resulting in a use-after-free when
>+	     handshake hashes are then calculated afterwards. This can
>+	     result in a potentially exploitable crash.</p>
