[slackware-security]  openssl (SSA:2026-037-02)

New openssl packages are available for Slackware 15.0 to fix security issues.


Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/openssl-1.1.1ze-i586-1_slack15.0.txz:  Upgraded.
  Apply patch to fix the following security issues:
  Fixed Heap out-of-bounds write in BIO_f_linebuffer on short writes.
  Fixed Unauthenticated/unencrypted trailing bytes with low-level OCB function
  calls.
  Fixed Out of bounds write in PKCS12_get_friendlyname() UTF-8 conversion.
  Fixed Missing ASN1_TYPE validation in TS_RESP_verify_response() function.
  Fixed NULL Pointer Dereference in PKCS12_item_decrypt_d2i_ex() function.
  Fixed Missing ASN1_TYPE validation in PKCS#12 parsing.
  Fixed ASN1_TYPE Type Confusion in the PKCS7_digest_from_attributes() function.
  These CVEs were fixed by the 1.1.1ze release that is only available to
  subscribers to OpenSSL's premium extended support. The patch was prepared
  by backporting from the OpenSSL-3.0 repo.
  Thanks to Ken Zalewski for the patch!
