Important: openssl security and bug fix update

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: X.400 address type confusion in X.509 GeneralName (CVE-2023-0286)

• openssl: read buffer overflow in X.509 certificate verification (CVE-2022-4203)

• openssl: timing attack in RSA Decryption implementation (CVE-2022-4304)

• openssl: double free after calling PEM_read_bio_ex (CVE-2022-4450)

• openssl: use-after-free following BIO_new_NDEF (CVE-2023-0215)

• openssl: invalid pointer dereference in d2i_PKCS7 functions (CVE-2023-0216)

• openssl: NULL dereference validating DSA public key (CVE-2023-0217)

• openssl: NULL dereference during PKCS7 data verification (CVE-2023-0401)

Bug Fix(es):

• HMAC generation should reject key lengths < 112 bits or provide an indicator in FIPS mode (BZ#2144000)

• In FIPS mode, openssl should set a minimum length for passwords in PBKDF2 (BZ#2144003)

• stunnel consumes high amount of memory when pestered with TCP connections without a TLS handshake (BZ#2144008)
