https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2024-6119 https://openssl-library.org/news/secadv/20240903.txt https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2024/09/03/4
Issue summary: Applications performing certificate name checks (e.g., TLS clients checking server certificates) may attempt to read an invalid memory address resulting in abnormal termination of the application process. Impact summary: Abnormal termination of an application can a cause a denial of service. Applications performing certificate name checks (e.g., TLS clients checking server certificates) may attempt to read an invalid memory address when comparing the expected name with an `otherName` subject alternative name of an X.509 certificate. This may result in an exception that terminates the application program. Note that basic certificate chain validation (signatures, dates, ...) is not affected, the denial of service can occur only when the application also specifies an expected DNS name, Email address or IP address. TLS servers rarely solicit client certificates, and even when they do, they generally don't perform a name check against a "reference identifier" (expected identity), but rather extract the presented identity after checking the certificate chain. So TLS servers are generally not affected and the severity of the issue is Moderate. The FIPS modules in 3.3, 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0 are not affected by this issue. OpenSSL 1.1.1 and 1.0.2 are also not affected by this issue. OpenSSL 3.3, 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0 are vulnerable to this issue. OpenSSL 3.3 users should upgrade to OpenSSL 3.3.2 OpenSSL 3.2 users should upgrade to OpenSSL 3.2.3 OpenSSL 3.1 users should upgrade to OpenSSL 3.1.7 OpenSSL 3.0 users should upgrade to OpenSSL 3.0.15
I've classified this B3 since this only happens in very uncommon code paths and not in normal regular usage of openssl.

Per https://openssl-library.org/source/, we now have: """ PGP keys for the signatures of old releases are available from the OTC page and can also be signed with a key with the fingerprint: EFC0 A467 D613 CB83 C7ED 6D30 D894 E2CE 8B3D 79F5. The current releases are signed by the OpenSSL key with fingerprint BA54 73A2 B058 7B07 FB27 CF2D 2160 94DF D0CB 81EF. """ We keep the older keys in this package's keyring for now to allow older versions of openssl to be verified rather than having awkward deps.
