The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2023:1199 advisory.

    OpenSSL is a toolkit that implements the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS)     protocols, as well as a full-strength general-purpose cryptography library.

    Security Fix(es):

    * openssl: X.400 address type confusion in X.509 GeneralName (CVE-2023-0286)

    * openssl: read buffer overflow in X.509 certificate verification (CVE-2022-4203)

    * openssl: timing attack in RSA Decryption implementation (CVE-2022-4304)

    * openssl: double free after calling PEM_read_bio_ex (CVE-2022-4450)

    * openssl: use-after-free following BIO_new_NDEF (CVE-2023-0215)

    * openssl: invalid pointer dereference in d2i_PKCS7 functions (CVE-2023-0216)

    * openssl: NULL dereference validating DSA public key (CVE-2023-0217)

    * openssl: NULL dereference during PKCS7 data verification (CVE-2023-0401)

    For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and     other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

    Bug Fix(es):

    * HMAC generation should reject key lengths < 112 bits or provide an indicator in FIPS mode (BZ#2144001)

    * In FIPS mode, openssl should set a minimum length for passwords in PBKDF2 (BZ#2144004)

    * stunnel consumes high amount of memory when pestered with TCP connections without a TLS handshake     (BZ#2144009)

    * In FIPS mode, openssl should reject SHAKE as digest for RSA-OAEP or provide an indicator (BZ#2144011)

    * In FIPS mode, openssl should reject RSASSA-PSS salt lengths larger than the output size of the hash     function used, or provide an indicator (BZ#2144013)

    * In FIPS mode, openssl should reject RSA signatures with X9.31 padding, or provide an indicator     (BZ#2144016)

    * In FIPS mode, openssl should reject SHA-224, SHA-384, SHA-512-224, and SHA-512-256 as hashes for hash-     based DRBGs, or provide an indicator after 2023-05-16 (BZ#2144018)

    * In FIPS mode, openssl should reject KDF input and output key lengths < 112 bits or provide an indicator     (BZ#2144020)

    * In FIPS mode, openssl should reject RSA keys < 2048 bits when using EVP_PKEY_decapsulate, or provide an     indicator (BZ#2145171)

    * OpenSSL FIPS checksum code needs update (BZ#2158413)
