Ubuntu Security Notice 6039-1 - It was discovered that OpenSSL was not properly managing file locks when processing policy constraints. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a certificate chain with specially crafted policy constraints, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.10. David Benjamin discovered that OpenSSL was not properly performing the verification of X.509 certificate chains that include policy constraints, which could lead to excessive resource consumption.
