Debian 11 bullseye DLA-4049-1 critical: rust-openssl memory leak

debian lts
Calendar Grey February 11, 2025
Dist Debian Esm H88
The Debian LTS Advisory DLA-4050-1 concerns a vulnerability in the python3-requests package, suggesting an essential update for users.
A vulnerability has been discovered in rust-openssl, a set of OpenSSL bindings for the Rust programming language

Summary

In affected versions ssl::select_next_proto can return a slice pointing
into the server argument's buffer but with a lifetime bound to the
client argument. In situations where the sever buffer's lifetime is
shorter than the client buffer's, this can cause a use after free.

This could cause the server to crash or to return arbitrary memory
contents to the client. This security update fixes the signature of
ssl::select_next_proto to properly constrain the output buffer's lifetime
to that of both input buffers. In standard usage of ssl::select_next_proto
in the callback passed to SslContextBuilder::set_alpn_select_callback,
code is only affected if the server buffer is constructed within the
callback.

For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version
0.10.29-1+deb11u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your rust-openssl packages.
