OpenSSL Patch Party: Moderate Vulnerabilities Crash the Security Bash!
The OpenSSL Project has released new versions of its SSL/TLS toolkit, patching three vulnerabilities, including CVE-2025-9231. While two issues are ‘moderate severity,’ only the SM2 algorithm on 64-bit ARM is affected. Meanwhile, the third vulnerability could crash systems, but hey, at least it’s a ‘low severity’ crash!
Hot Take:
OpenSSL’s got 99 problems, but a bug ain’t one—well, actually, it’s three. But hey, who’s counting when you’ve got a toolkit that’s practically a Swiss army knife of security features? Just make sure your digital cryptography skills are sharper than that knife!
Key Points:
- OpenSSL released new versions patching three vulnerabilities.
- Two out of the three vulnerabilities are rated with ‘moderate severity’.
- CVE-2025-9231 could allow attackers to recover private keys but is limited to specific platforms.
- CVE-2025-9230 involves an out-of-bound read/write issue.
- The third vulnerability is rated as ‘low severity’ and can cause a DoS crash.
