Echo: openssl: security update to 3.5.4-1~deb13u2

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 463861

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Issue summary: Writing large, newline-free data into a BIO chain using the line-buffering filter where the
 next BIO performs short writes can trigger a heap-based out-of-bounds write. Impact summary: This out-of-
 bounds write can cause memory corruption which typically results in a crash, leading to Denial of Service
 for an application. The line-buffering BIO filter (BIO_f_linebuffer) is not used by default in TLS/SSL
 data paths. In OpenSSL command-line applications, it is typically only pushed onto stdout/stderr on VMS
 systems. Third-party applications that explicitly use this filter with a BIO chain that can short-write
 and that write large, newline-free data influenced by an attacker would be affected. However, the
 circumstances where this could happen are unlikely to be under attacker control, and BIO_f_linebuffer is
 unlikely to be handling non-curated data controlled by an attacker. For that reason the issue was assessed
 as Low severity. The FIPS modules in 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, 3.3 and 3.0 are not affected by this issue, as the BIO
 implementation is outside the OpenSSL FIPS module boundary. OpenSSL 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, 3.3, 3.0, 1.1.1 and
 1.0.2 are vulnerable to this issue. (CVE-2025-68160)

Solution

Update the openssl library and its related packages to version 3.5.4-1~deb13u2 or later.
