Echo: openssl: security update to 3.5.5-1~deb13u2

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 464229

Description

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

- Issue summary: When a delta CRL that contains a Delta CRL Indicator extension is processed a NULL pointer
dereference might happen if the required CRL Number extension is missing. Impact summary: A NULL pointer
dereference can trigger a crash which leads to a Denial of Service for an application. When CRL processing
and delta CRL processing is enabled during X.509 certificate verification, the delta CRL processing does
not check whether the CRL Number extension is NULL before dereferencing it. When a malformed delta CRL
file is being processed, this parameter can be NULL, causing a NULL pointer dereference. Exploiting this
issue requires the X509_V_FLAG_USE_DELTAS flag to be enabled in the verification context, the certificate
being verified to contain a freshestCRL extension or the base CRL to have the EXFLAG_FRESHEST flag set,
and an attacker to provide a malformed CRL to an application that processes it. The vulnerability is
limited to Denial of Service and cannot be escalated to achieve code execution or memory disclosure. For
that reason the issue was assessed as Low severity according to our Security Policy. The FIPS modules in
3.6, 3.5, 3.4, 3.3 and 3.0 are not affected by this issue, as the affected code is outside the OpenSSL
FIPS module boundary. (CVE-2026-28388)

Solution

Update the openssl library and its related packages to version 3.5.5-1~deb13u2 or later.
