Published May 30, 2023 · Updated Apr 27, 2026

Summary

Matt Caswell discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled certain ASN.1
object identifiers. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to
cause OpenSSL to consume resources, resulting in a denial of service.
(CVE-2023-2650)

Anton Romanov discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled AES-XTS cipher
decryption on 64-bit ARM platforms. An attacker could possibly use this
issue to cause OpenSSL to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This
issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.10, and Ubuntu 23.04.
