Debian, Ubuntu ahead of the curve in patching at least – don't be late yourself How do you fix a problem like open-source security? Google has an idea, though constraints may not go down well

Two high-severity vulnerabilities in the OpenSSL software library were disclosed on Thursday alongside the release of a patched version of the software, OpenSSL 1.1.1k. OpenSSL is widely used to implement the Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocols, which support encrypted network connections. Alternatives include BoringSSL and LibreSSL, among others. The first flaw, a certificate check bypass (CVE-2021-3450), arose as a result of code implemented in v1.1.1h to pe...
