openssl update
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

– Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Summary:

Add implicit rejection in PKCS#1 v1.5 in OpenSSL.

Software Description:
– openssl: Secure Socket Layer (SSL) cryptographic library and tools

Details:

USN-6663-1 provided a security update for OpenSSL.
This update provides the corresponding update for
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.

Original advisory details:

As a security improvement, OpenSSL will now
return deterministic random bytes instead of an error
when detecting wrong padding in PKCS#1 v1.5 RSA
to prevent its use in possible Bleichenbacher timing attacks.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
libssl-doc 3.0.13-0ubuntu3.1
libssl3t64 3.0.13-0ubuntu3.1
openssl 3.0.13-0ubuntu3.1

After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.
