Summary
Low: openssl security update
Details

OpenSSL is a toolkit that implements the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols, as well as a full-strength general-purpose cryptography library.

Security Fix(es):

  • openssl: Excessive time spent checking DH keys and parameters (CVE-2023-3446)
  • OpenSSL: Excessive time spent checking DH q parameter value (CVE-2023-3817)
  • openssl: Generating excessively long X9.42 DH keys or checking excessively long X9.42 DH keys or parameters may be very slow (CVE-2023-5678)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
