*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

On multiple machines running Ubuntu 18.04 (stunnel4 3:5.44-1ubuntu3), I
am experiencing stunnel crashes seemingly caused by an attacker sending
an invalid handshake of some sort.

I suspect this to be an intentional (and successful) denial-of-service
attack.

Please let me know what other information I can usefully provide.
