Details

USN-6663-1 provided a security update for OpenSSL.
This update provides the corresponding update for
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.

Original advisory details:

As a security improvement, OpenSSL will now
return deterministic random bytes instead of an error
when detecting wrong padding in PKCS#1 v1.5 RSA
to prevent its use in possible Bleichenbacher timing attacks.

Update instructions

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 24.04

• libssl-doc - 3.0.13-0ubuntu3.1
• libssl3t64 - 3.0.13-0ubuntu3.1
• openssl - 3.0.13-0ubuntu3.1

After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.
