Crawling/fetches/Texis now use OpenSSL 3.2.1, which fixes CVE-2024-0727, CVE-2023-6237, CVE-2023-6129, CVE-2023-5678, CVE-2023-5363 since the last Texis product update (OpenSSL 3.1.3). None of these CVEs are thought to affect Texis. CVE-2024-0727 (crash), CVE-2023-6237 (time), CVE-2023-5678 (time), CVE-2023-5363 (confidentiality) can cause a crash, excessive time consumption, or loss of confidentiality (as noted), but should not affect Texis as the affected APIs are not known to be used by Texis. CVE-2023-6129 does not affect Texis as there are currently no PowerPC Texis versions. Note that this update does not affect the OpenSSL version used by Appliance server processes, which is updated separately. |
