Description Aleksandr Wagner (Kivak) 2017-10-27 14:55:49 UTC

openssl-1.0.2l and libressl-2.6.2 are susceptible to an out-of-bounds read and crashes. https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=150906184009035&w=2
So observed on Tumbleweed, and therefore very likely affects 42.2, 42.3 and SLE as well.

openssl-1.1.0f has been found to not have the problem anymore.

@ Maintainer(s): Please confirm that only libressl-2.6.2 is vulnerable to this bug.
