Type:
security
Severity:
important
Release date:
2026-09-15
Description:
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: OpenSSL: Denial of Service via unbounded memory growth in QUIC server (CVE-2026-14456) * openssl: QUIC server may trigger double free when processing INITIAL packet (CVE-2026-18798) * openssl: heap buffer overflow in CMS key unwrapping (CVE-2026-63072) * openssl: invalid pointer dereference in CMP server via crafted protectionAlg (CVE-2026-63076) * openssl: RPK server signature algorithm selection can dereference a missing certificate (CVE-2026-14457) * openssl: excessive memory use buffering DTLS records for a future epoch (CVE-2026-54874) * openssl: untrusted sender DN used as format string in CMP response validation (CVE-2026-63073) * openssl: CMP indefinite cache growth of ExtraCerts (CVE-2026-63074) * openssl: QUIC ACK-only packet retention can cause memory exhaustion (CVE-2026-63075) Bug Fix(es) and Enhancement(s): * openssl: HollowByte remote memory-exhaustion DoS fix may be missing [AlmaLinux 9.8.z] (JIRA:AlmaLinux-232828) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
