AI-suggested

A fix is available and has been released in updated OpenSSL packages for affected Ubuntu versions. Users should apply the security updates as per Ubuntu Security Notices USN-6986-1 and USN-7894-1 and reboot systems to complete remediation. No additional mitigation is required beyond applying these official patches.

Description

A vulnerability in OpenSSL affects applications performing certificate name checks, potentially causing them to read invalid memory addresses and crash. This leads to abnormal termination and denial of service when comparing expected names with 'otherName' subject alternative names in X.509 certificates. Basic certificate chain validation remains unaffected, and TLS servers are generally not impacted. The issue is rated as high severity with a CVSS score of 7.5. Fixed versions are available and should be applied to mitigate the risk.
