Red Hat Security Advisory 2023-3722-01 - OpenSSL is a toolkit that implements the Secure Sockets Layer and Transport Layer Security protocols, as well as a full-strength general-purpose cryptography library. Issues addressed include buffer over-read and denial of service vulnerabilities.
Debian Linux Security Advisory 5417-1 - Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in OpenSSL, a Secure Sockets Layer toolkit.
Ubuntu Security Notice 6119-1 - Matt Caswell discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled certain ASN.1 object identifiers. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenSSL to consume resources, resulting in a denial of service. Anton Romanov discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled AES-XTS cipher decryption on 64-bit ARM platforms. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenSSL to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.10, and Ubuntu 23.04.
Issue summary: Processing some specially crafted ASN.1 object identifiers or data containing them may be very slow. Impact summary: Applications that use OBJ_obj2txt() directly, or use any of the OpenSSL subsystems OCSP, PKCS7/SMIME, CMS, CMP/CRMF or TS with no message size limit may experience notable to very long delays when processing those messages, which may lead to a Denial of Service. An OBJECT IDENTIFIER is composed of a series of numbers - sub-identifiers - most of which have no size limit. OBJ_obj2txt() may be used to translate an ASN.1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER given in DER encoding form (using the OpenSSL type ASN1_OBJECT) to its canonical numeric text form, which are the sub-identifiers of the OBJECT IDENTIFIER in decimal form, separated by periods. When one of the sub-identifiers in the OBJECT IDENTIFIER is very large (these are sizes that are seen as absurdly large, taking up tens or hundreds of KiBs), the translation to a decimal number in text may take a very long time.
