Alpine: multiple py3-openssl packages: security update to 26.1.0-r0
critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 440908
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:- pyOpenSSL is a Python wrapper around the OpenSSL library. Starting in version 0.14.0 and prior to version
26.0.0, if a user provided callback to `set_tlsext_servername_callback` raised an unhandled exception,
this would result in a connection being accepted. If a user was relying on this callback for any security-
sensitive behavior, this could allow bypassing it. Starting in version 26.0.0, unhandled exceptions now
result in rejecting the connection. (CVE-2026-27448)
- pyOpenSSL is a Python wrapper around the OpenSSL library. Starting in version 22.0.0 and prior to version
26.0.0, if a user provided callback to `set_cookie_generate_callback` returned a cookie value greater than
256 bytes, pyOpenSSL would overflow an OpenSSL provided buffer. Starting in version 26.0.0, cookie values
that are too long are now rejected. (CVE-2026-27459)
Solution
Update the py3-openssl library and its related packages to version 26.1.0-r0 or later.See Also
