Description

Elison Niven discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled the c_rehash script. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary commands when c_rehash is run. (CVE-2022-1292) Raul Metsma discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly verified certain response signing certificates. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to spoof certain response signing certificates. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-1343) Tom Colley discovered that OpenSSL used the incorrect MAC key in the RC4-MD5 ciphersuite. In non-default configurations were RC4-MD5 is enabled, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to modify encrypted communications. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-1434) Aliaksei Levin discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled resources when decoding certificates and keys. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenSSL to consume resources, leading to a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-1473) Update Instructions: Run `sudo ua fix USN-5402-1` to fix the vulnerability. The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: libssl1.0.0 - 1.0.2n-1ubuntu5.9 libssl1.0-dev - 1.0.2n-1ubuntu5.9 openssl1.0 - 1.0.2n-1ubuntu5.9 No subscription required libssl-dev - 1.1.1-1ubuntu2.1~18.04.17 openssl - 1.1.1-1ubuntu2.1~18.04.17 libssl-doc - 1.1.1-1ubuntu2.1~18.04.17 libssl1.1 - 1.1.1-1ubuntu2.1~18.04.17 No subscription required
