Publication date

30 September 2025

Overview

Several security issues were fixed in OpenSSL.


Packages

  • openssl - Secure Socket Layer (SSL) cryptographic library and tools
  • openssl1.0 - Secure Socket Layer (SSL) cryptographic library and tools

Details

Stanislav Fort discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled memory when
trying to decrypt CMS messages encrypted with password-based encryption. An
attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or
execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2025-9230)

Stanislav Fort discovered that OpenSSL had a timing side-channel in SM2
signature computations on ARM platforms. A remote attacker could possibly
use this issue to recover private data. This issue only affected Ubuntu
25.04. (CVE-2025-9231)

Stanislav Fort discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled memory during
HTTP requests when "no_proxy" environment variable is set. An attacker
could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only
affected Ubuntu 25.04. (CVE-2025-9232)
