Vulnerable OpenSSL included in cryptography wheels

Low severity GitHub Reviewed Published Sep 19, 2023 in pyca/cryptography

Package

pip cryptography (pip)

Affected versions

>= 2.5, < 41.0.4

Description

pyca/cryptography’s wheels include a statically linked copy of OpenSSL. The versions of OpenSSL included in cryptography 2.5-41.0.3 are vulnerable to several security issues. More details about the vulnerabilities themselves can be found in https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv/20230908.txt.

If you are building cryptography source (“sdist”) then you are responsible for upgrading your copy of OpenSSL. Only users installing from wheels built by the cryptography project (i.e., those distributed on PyPI) need to update their cryptography versions.
