*** 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.
