    Package        : openssl     CVE ID         : CVE-2024-6119

    David Benjamin reported a flaw in the X.509 name checks in OpenSSL, a     Secure Sockets Layer toolkit, which may cause an application performing     certificate name checks to crash, resulting in denial of service.

    Additional details can be found in the upstream advisory:
    https://openssl-library.org/news/secadv/20240903.txt

    For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in     version 3.0.14-1~deb12u2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your openssl packages.
