Description

Updated openssl packages fix security vulnerability Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition (such as can be found in PKCS7) could eventually exceed the stack given malicious input with excessive recursion. This could result in a Denial Of Service attack. There are no such structures used within SSL/TLS that come from untrusted sources so this is considered safe (CVE-2018-0739).

Affected Systems

  • mageia•openssl

    < 1.0.2o-1.mga5

  • mageia•openssl
