USN-8678-2

USN-8678-1 fixed vulnerabilities in OpenSSL. This update provides the corresponding fix for OpenSSL and OpenSSL 1.0 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

In addition, this update also fixes the following issues that were not previously addressed in those releases:

It was discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled TLS handshake message buffering. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenSSL to consume excessive memory, leading to a denial of service. (LP: #2161371)

It was discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled session cache management when processing TLSv1.3 sessions. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenSSL to consume excessive memory, leading to a denial of service. This issue only affected OpenSSL 1.1.1 on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2024-2511)

It was discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled the SSLselectnext_proto function when called with an empty client protocol list. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenSSL to disclose private memory contents to the peer, leading to a loss of confidentiality. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2024-5535)

Original advisory details:

It was discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled buffering of DTLS records for a future epoch. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenSSL to use excessive resources, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2026-54874)

It was discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled CMS key unwrapping. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a heap buffer overflow, leading to a denial of service or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2026-63072)
