Affected: AlmaLinux:10: openssl, AlmaLinux:10: openssl-devel, AlmaLinux:10: openssl-libs, AlmaLinux:10: openssl-perl

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: OpenSSL: Denial of Service via unbounded memory growth in QUIC server (CVE-2026-14456) * openssl: QUIC server may trigger double free when processing INITIAL packet (CVE-2026-18798) * openssl: heap buffer overflow in CMS key unwrapping (CVE-2026-63072) * openssl: invalid pointer dereference in CMP server via crafted protectionAlg (CVE-2026-63076) * openssl: RPK server signature algorithm selection can dereference a missing certificate (CVE-2026-14457) * openssl: excessive memory use buffering DTLS records for a future epoch (CVE-2026-54874) * openssl: untrusted sender DN used as format string in CMP response validation (CVE-2026-63073) * openssl: CMP indefinite cache growth of ExtraCerts (CVE-2026-63074) * openssl: QUIC ACK-only packet retention can cause memory exhaustion (CVE-2026-63075)

Bug Fix(es) and Enhancement(s):

* openssl: HollowByte remote memory-exhaustion DoS fix may be missing [AlmaLinux 10.2.z] (JIRA:AlmaLinux-212362)

Affected: Alpaquita:25: openssl, Alpaquita:stream: openssl, BellSoft Hardened Containers:25: openssl, BellSoft Hardened Containers:stream: openssl

Issue summary: When an OpenSSL QUIC server (Listener SSL object) processes valid QUIC Initial packets for unknown destination connection IDs, it can allocate and queue new incoming channels without enforcing any limit.

Impact summary: A remote peer that can make many Initial packets reach the server listener faster than the application accepts connections, can cause the memory allocated to store the per-channel state to grow without any limits, potentially making the QUIC listener unavailable and causing Denial of Service.

CWE: CWE-770: Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

Description: The function that handles inbound QUIC packets uses Connection-Id from the packet header to find an existing connection (QUIC channel). If no existing connection is found and the packet type is INITIAL, the function treats the packet as a new connection. It allocates a new channel object and inserts it into a queue where it waits to be accepted by the local application with SSL_accept(3ossl). The memory occupied by these initial channel objects may grow without bounds if the application is not able to call SSL_accept() frequently enough to serve these inbound connection requests.

The issue is present since OpenSSL 3.5 when the QUIC server implementation was added.

The fix introduces a limit for pending connections. The default limit is set to 256 pending connections (waiting to be accepted by the local application). Applications may change the default by calling SSL_set_va…
