Hi
  Our product is using OpenSSL 1.0.2 , one of the vulnerability scan tool
reported vulnerability : CVE-2011-1473.
  Vulnerability description:
  Opensl doesn't properly restrict client-initiated renegotiation within
the SSL and TLS protocols, which might make it easier for remote attackers
to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) by performing many
renegotiations within a single connection.

  Only solution available for this vulnerability, is to disable
renegotiation using SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION option. But this option is not
available in the OpenSSL 1.0.2 version.

  Any suggestions, how to fix this vulnerability in OpenSSL 1.0.2 version.

 Regards
 Manish
