[slackware-security]  Slackware 14.2 openssl (SSA:2022-179-03)

New openssl packages are available for Slackware 14.2 to fix a security issue.


Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/openssl-1.0.2u-i586-4_slack14.2.txz:  Rebuilt.
  We're sending out the Slackware 14.2 updates again because the package
  build number wasn't incremented which caused slackpkg to not pick up the
  updates. It's been bumped and the packages rebuilt - otherwise there are
  no new changes. Thanks to John Jenkins for the report.
  For reference, here's the information from the previous advisory:
  In addition to the c_rehash shell command injection identified in
  CVE-2022-1292, further circumstances where the c_rehash script does not
  properly sanitise shell metacharacters to prevent command injection were
  found by code review.
  When the CVE-2022-1292 was fixed it was not discovered that there
  are other places in the script where the file names of certificates
  being hashed were possibly passed to a command executed through the shell.
  For more information, see:

    https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2022-2068
  (* Security fix *)
patches/packages/openssl-solibs-1.0.2u-i586-4_slack14.2.txz:  Rebuilt.
