Slackware Security[slackware-security] openssl (SSA:2026-168-05)
New openssl packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to
fix security issues.
Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/openssl-1.1.1zh-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
Apply patch to fix the following security issues:
Heap Buffer Over-read in ASN.1 Content Parsing.
Possible NULL Dereference in Password-Based CMS Decryption.
Heap Use-After-Free in the PKCS7_verify() Function.
Possible Heap Buffer Overflow in ASN.1 Multibyte String Conversion.
Out-of-Bounds Read in CMS Password-Based Decryption.
These CVEs were fixed by the 1.1.1zh release that is only available to
subscribers to OpenSSL's premium extended support. The patch was prepared
by backporting from the OpenSSL-3.0 repo.
Thanks to Ken Zalewski for the patch!
