Hi,

The following vulnerabilities were published for openssl.

CVE-2023-1255[0]:
| Issue summary: The AES-XTS cipher decryption implementation for 64 bit
| ARM platform contains a bug that could cause it to read past the input
| buffer, leading to a crash. Impact summary: Applications that use the
| AES-XTS algorithm on the 64 bit ARM platform can crash in rare
| circumstances. The AES-XTS algorithm is usually used for disk
| encryption. The AES-XTS cipher decryption implementation for 64 bit
| ARM platform will read past the end of the ciphertext buffer if the
| ciphertext size is 4 mod 5 in 16 byte blocks, e.g. 144 bytes or 1024
| bytes. If the memory after the ciphertext buffer is unmapped, this
| will trigger a crash which results in a denial of service. If an
| attacker can control the size and location of the ciphertext buffer
| being decrypted by an application using AES-XTS on 64 bit ARM, the
| application is affected. This is fairly unlikely making this issue a
| Low severity one.

CVE-2023-0466[1]:
| The function X509_VERIFY_PARAM_add0_policy() is documented to
| implicitly enable the certificate policy check when doing certificate
| verification. However the implementation of the function does not
| enable the check which allows certificates with invalid or incorrect
| policies to pass the certificate verification. As suddenly enabling
| the policy check could break existing deployments it was decided to
| keep the existing behavior of the X509_VERIFY_PARAM_add0_policy()
| function. Instead the applications that require OpenSSL to perform
| certificate policy check need to use X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_policies()
| or explicitly enable the policy check by calling
| X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_flags() with the X509_V_FLAG_POLICY_CHECK flag
| argument. Certificate policy checks are disabled by default in OpenSSL
| and are not commonly used by applications.

CVE-2023-0465[2]:
| Applications that use a non-default option when verifying certificates
| may be vulnerable to an attack from a malicious CA to circumvent
| certain checks. Invalid certificate policies in leaf certificates are
| silently ignored by OpenSSL and other certificate policy checks are
| skipped for that certificate. A malicious CA could use this to
| deliberately assert invalid certificate policies in order to
| circumvent policy checking on the certificate altogether. Policy
| processing is disabled by default but can be enabled by passing the
| `-policy' argument to the command line utilities or by calling the
| `X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_policies()' function.

CVE-2023-0464[3]:
| A security vulnerability has been identified in all supported versions
| of OpenSSL related to the verification of X.509 certificate chains
| that include policy constraints. Attackers may be able to exploit this
| vulnerability by creating a malicious certificate chain that triggers
| exponential use of computational resources, leading to a denial-of-
| service (DoS) attack on affected systems. Policy processing is
| disabled by default but can be enabled by passing the `-policy'
| argument to the command line utilities or by calling the
| `X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_policies()' function.
