openssl update
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 23.10
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Available with Ubuntu Pro)
Summary:
Add implicit rejection in PKCS#1 v1.5 in OpenSSL.
Software Description:
- openssl: Secure Socket Layer (SSL) cryptographic library and tools
Details:
As a security improvement, this update prevents OpenSSL
from returning an error when detecting wrong padding
in PKCS#1 v1.5 RSA, to prevent its use in possible
Bleichenbacher timing attacks.
