USN-8678-1: OpenSSL vulnerabilities

Ubuntu • August 25, 2026

It was discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled the QUIC server incoming channel queue. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenSSL to use excessive resources, leading to a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. ( CVE-2026-14456 ) It was discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled signature algorithm selection when using Raw Public Keys. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenSSL to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. ( CVE-2026-14457 ) It was discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled QUIC INITIAL packet processing. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenSSL to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. ( CVE-2026-18798 ) It was...

A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenSSL to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. ( CVE-2026-18798 ) It was discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled buffering of DTLS records for a future epoch. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenSSL to use excessive resources, leading to a denial of service. ( CVE-2026-54874 ) It was discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled CMS key unwrapping. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a heap buffer overflow, leading to a denial of service or arbitrary code execution. ( CVE-2026-63072 ) It was discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly validated the sender distinguished name in CMP response messages. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenSSL to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. ( CVE-2026-63073 ) It was discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly limited the growth of an internal certificate cache used during CMP operations. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenSSL to use excessive resources, leading to a denial of service. ( CVE-2026-63074 ) It was discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled QUIC ACK-only packet retention.

After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make all the necessary changes.

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu Pro provides ten-year security coverage to 25,000+ packages in Main and Universe repositories, and it is free for up to five machines.
