Frequently Asked Questions

1

What systems are covered by this update?

The update applies to OpenSSL 3 packages on SUSE openSUSE Leap 15.5 and the SUSE Basesystem Module 15-SP5. Listed package names include suse/openssl, suse/libopenssl, suse/libopenssl3, and suse/libopenssl3-debuginfo across the specified architectures.

2

What must an attacker provide to trigger the denial of service?

An attacker needs to cause processing of a maliciously formatted PKCS#12 file. The provided information does not state whether this can be triggered remotely or whether authentication is required.

3

How can I determine whether this issue is relevant to my environment?

Identify systems running the affected SUSE products and determine whether they process PKCS#12 files using the listed OpenSSL packages. The issue is relevant where untrusted or attacker-controlled PKCS#12 content may be processed.
