* openssl: openssl: Denial of Service via excessive memory allocation in CRL distribution point processing (CVE-2026-35189)

* openssl: openssl: Denial of Service via excessive QUIC packet buffer retention (CVE-2026-54873)

* openssl: openssl: Denial of Service via crafted CMP certificate revocation response (CVE-2026-75805)

* openssl: openssl: Denial of Service via inefficient QUIC stream reassembly (CVE-2026-42772)

* openssl: OpenSSL: Private key recovery via timing side-channel in generic elliptic curve operations (CVE-2026-54872)

* openssl: OpenSSL: Denial of Service via unenforced QUIC connection flow control (CVE-2026-75804)

* openssl: openssl: information disclosure via non-constant-time SM2 scalar multiplication on ARM64 and RISC-V (CVE-2026-54875)

* openssl: openssl: Traffic amplification Denial of Service via QUIC packet over-accounting (CVE-2026-35191)

* openssl: OpenSSL: Private key recovery via SM2 timing side-channel (CVE-2026-77696)

* openssl: openssl: Denial of Service via out-of-bounds write during TLS context switch (CVE-2026-72897)

* openssl: OpenSSL: Denial of Service via undersized DTLS record (CVE-2026-75806)

* openssl: OpenSSL: Denial of Service via unbounded QUIC connection identifier backlog (CVE-2026-84784)

Bug Fix(es) and Enhancement(s):

* [Rocky Linux 10.3]OpenSSL silently uses default provider when `fips.so` is missing on systems in FIPS mode (JIRA:Rocky Linux-213740)

* OpenSSL fails to initialize when automatic initialization happens in threads (JIRA:Rocky Linux-252344)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the CIQ security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages based on the guidance in CIQ advisory crlsa-2026_98588.
