Package        : openssl
CVE ID         : CVE-2024-6119

David Benjamin reported a flaw in the X.509 name checks in OpenSSL, a
Secure Sockets Layer toolkit, which may cause an application performing
certificate name checks to crash, resulting in denial of service.

Additional details can be found in the upstream advisory:

For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in

We recommend that you upgrade your openssl packages.
