RHSA-2022:6224 — Security Advisory

An update for openssl is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

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: c_rehash script allows command injection (CVE-2022-1292)

• openssl: Signer certificate verification returns inaccurate response when using OCSP_NOCHECKS (CVE-2022-1343)

• openssl: OPENSSL_LH_flush() breaks reuse of memory (CVE-2022-1473)

• openssl: the c_rehash script allows command injection (CVE-2022-2068)

• openssl: AES OCB fails to encrypt some bytes (CVE-2022-2097)
