February 27, 2024

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.
