Debian LTS Advisory DLA-3008-1 debian-lts@lists.debian.org

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : openssl
Version : 1.1.0l-1~deb9u6
CVE ID : CVE-2022-1292

The c_rehash script does not properly sanitise shell metacharacters to prevent
command injection. This script is executed by update-ca-certificates, from
ca-certificates, to re-hash certificates in /etc/ssl/certs/. An attacker able
to place files in this directory could execute arbitrary commands with the
privileges of the script.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version
1.1.0l-1~deb9u6.

We recommend that you upgrade your openssl packages.
